Who is actually being hospitalised with the Delta variant? Our analysis of latest PHE data (up to 25 June) shows that, in England:

73% were under the age of 50
63% were completely unvaccinated (of which 89% were under 50)
14% had had 1 jab
15% had had 2 jabs (of which 81% were over 50)

So that is 92%; 8% unknown?

LBC used 3 weeks after the jab as "vaccinated"; on 4th June, 75.7% of adults had had 1 jab, 52.1% 2.

So, combining the figures, a relative risk of hospitalization is:
unvaccinated: 63 / (100-75.7) = 2.6
1 dose: 14 / (75.7-52.1) = 0.6
2 doses: 15 / 52.1 = 0.3

or roughly: unvaccinated 9, 1 dose 2, 2 doses 1.
