Nearly 60% of these patients, said the doctor, had not received one shot.
“We currently have 30 patients in Covid’s critical care.
From this, eight has not been vaccinated at all.
Three of them have taken one dose and 19 the rest has both doses.
Three patients with a single dose are infected with Covid before the due date for the second dose.
