The show received a further 254 complaints to the broadcasting watchdog for a segment which aired on December 7.
Appearing on the daytime show, GP Dr Hilary said: "Those people who haven't been vaccinated, we'd really love you to think again and be vaccinated."
Lorraine replied: "That's a figure that we have to really concentrate on, 90% of people in hospital have not been vaccinated."
Viewers of the show were left outraged - as the figures were incorrect.
According to Full Fact, the true figure is more like 36%.
The organisation added: "However there are signs that unvaccinated people are the majority in intensive care."
Figures which covered admissions in the four weeks up to 28 November 2021, show that about 36% were people who had not been vaccinated, and about 61% were fully vaccinated.
