Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease typically causes lung infiltration that leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which result in pulmonary fibrosis in late stage. The high morbidity and mortality rates of corona propelled the scientists to develop many types of vaccines that provide immunity against desired pathogen. The study was aimed to estimate Computed tomography (CT) score severity index of COVID-19 pulmonary infection in correlation with age, sex, and the vaccination status. Current study done on 50 patients referred to radio diagnosis department of Al-bayda Medical Center from 15 September 2021 to 17 November 2021 as cases of COVID-19 pneumonia infection. Most of high CT severity score index were in males and increasing the severity with increase the age .The highest CT score severity index seen among unvaccinated patients that support the importance of vaccination in decrease severity of COVID-19 pneumonia and hence decrease the mortality rate.
