Guwahati: Infection among those who are vaccinated worrying for health experts because the state government has decided to allow visitors to Pandal Durga Puja, which has at least the first dose.

As high as 80% of Covid cases detected in Guwahati were among people who were vaccinated, while some died of Covid even after getting the second jab.
“In Greater Guwahati, we have seen that 80% of people infected with Covid take the first or second dose,” said Kumbrup (Metro) DC Bisangan Puru.
The district government has made it mandatory for visitors and Puja organizers to vaccinate with at least the first dose, although health experts feel that the current situation shows that people who are vaccinated are equally susceptible to infection and can spread the virus.
“People who are fully vaccinated also transmitted Covid-19.
Government policy to test the majority of people who are not exiled at the entry point are not healthy medically,” Dr.
B borkakoty, a senior scientist at ICMR-RMRC, Lahowal, in Dibrugarh said.
