The national COVID-19 death rate fell by nearly 50% in 2022 compared to the prior year, a decline that has been credited to widespread vaccinations as well as a rise in natural immunity following the first Omicron surge.There were 244,986 deaths in the U.S. that listed COVID-19 as the underlying or contributing cause, down 47% from 2021 when 462,193 deaths were reported, according to an analysis of provisional death certificate data published Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
