The chart shows that patients below age 60 have been hospitalized 80% more for severe Covid after vaccination.

Hard to not comment this cynically. That is bad.

Early vaccinated patients over 60 have 40% improvement. Keep in mind that the group older 60 is smaller in size compared to under 60, and the effect is smaller that adverse response in younger. Net negative.

That is hospitalisation in _regions_ where vaccination started early or late.

It does not explicitly discriminate between vaccinated people or non-vaccinated, only possibly by proxy of age. People under the age of 35 were previously not included in the vaccination scheme. At the same time, the two more infectious variants are spreading.
