Chennai: Two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have offered “impressive” results on Tamil Nadu with reduced risk of hospitalization, ICU revenues, and death although fear of fading immunity and breaking through infection, analysis by the Directorate of Public Health has shown.
Some international studies have shown that which is fully vaccinated more protected against SARS-COV2, a virus that causes Covid-19.
Now, the State Health Department said his own statistics have reaffirmed these findings.
In August and September, from 88,719 people tested positively on Tamil Nadu, at least 63% of them did not take any vaccines, 24% of them were partially vaccinated and 13% of them were fully vaccinated.
The difference is Stark in the acceptance and death of the ICU.
Nearly 87% of death and 76% of ICU receipts are those who will not be vaccinated.
“Breakthrough infections exist.
We see adults who are fully vaccinated positive testing for viral infections.
Reasons why we still ask them to wear masks, maintain social distance and follow the Covid-19 protocol, but the risk of infection is lower.
On the other hand, acceptance and ICU’s death was significantly higher among those who were not vaccinated.
We saw fewer people vaccinated in the ICU, “said Public Health Director Dr S Selvavinayagam.
State Covid-19 Registry shows four percent of those who are fully vaccinated and 9% of some vaccinated dies.
ICU revenues have 16% of some vaccinations and 9% of those who are fully vaccinated.
“Protection increases with vaccination.
With an increase in daily vaccination, we also see a decrease in infection,” he said.
Data also shows that nearly 73% of Covid-19 patients in hospitals were not vaccinated, more than 45% of people in the house quarantine had taken two doses of vaccines.
The state said it aims to encourage at least 70% complete vaccination in all districts to prevent death, although there are no districts that reach more than half a target.
Tamil Nadu has more than 5.7 adult crore, which will require two doses of vaccines.
Until Friday, 3.7 crores (65%) people have received one dose of vaccines and 1.2 crores (22%) adults have received two doses of vaccines.
While coverage for the first dose in several health units such as Coimbatore, Chennai, Tiruppur and Kancheepuram are above 75%, coverage in districts such as Vellore and Thootukudi are below 55%.
In addition, many districts still have many people who have not taken the second dose on time.
“Most people who want vaccines get it.
To encourage further coverage, we now have to fight harder against the hesitation vaccine,” said Health Secretary J Radhakrishnan.
“We hope the Mega camp organized throughout the state on Sunday will encourage more people,” he added.
