The most likely to be hospitalized age groups are the most vaccinated, and the least likely to be hospitalized age groups are either ineligible for vaccination or vaccinated at a very low rate. If you compare people of similar age (as Alberta's breakdown that Nancy posted above does) the effect is abundantly clear; people with 3 doses are significantly less likely to end up in hospital with COVID than people with fewer (or no) doses.
