Vaccination against the Coronavirus can save a lot of lives, or at least that's what the Romanian authorities tell us, which shows how the 4th wave affects several countries where the daily figures regarding infections have reached surprisingly high values.
"Proof: Vaccination against COVID-19 saves lives!
Study UK 🇬🇧 and South Africa 🇿🇦!
💡 Why are there differences between UK and South African deaths given that there is a significant increase in the number of cases in both countries?
❗️ For two reasons, which correlate with each other:
✅ the percentage of vaccination in the UK is much higher than that in South Africa;
✅ the population at risk, with higher chances of severe evolution, hospitalization and death, is vaccinated in a very high percentage in the UK. Vaccination coverage among the elderly is 85-90%.
❗️ Important!
✅ UK has over 65% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose and over 50% fully vaccinated. In addition, more than 85-90% of elderly and vulnerable people are already vaccinated.
🔛 The daily number of cases is constantly increasing, but the vast majority are registered among unvaccinated young people and people who have not yet received the booster dose.
☑️ Almost two-thirds of cases of delta strain infection in the UK are among unvaccinated people, 1 in 5 cases among people who have not yet received the second dose and less than 1 in 10 cases among those who are fully vaccinated.
〽️ Figures:
✅ Vaccinate
UK: 67.8% with at least 1 dose and 51.7% with full vaccination regimen;
SA: 6.74% with at least 1 dose and 2.46% with full vaccination regimen.
