Stressing upon the significance of vaccinations Dr Borkar said that vaccination reduces hospitalisation, complications and deaths. One dose of the covid vaccine gives 50 % protections, two doses provide 70 % protection while those vaccinated with booster are 90 % protected, he added.
Clinically or sub clinically, all Goa has been infected – Dr Borkar
Further emphasizing on how vaccination has reduced hopsitalisation, Dr Borkar said, “Clinically or sub clinically all Goa is infected. Every alternate person you ask whether they had fever, cough , sore throat and they will say yes. In spite of that hardly 636 people have been hospitalized as against 13,936 admissions during second wave. Oxygen consumption has also come down,” Warning against complacency because Omicron is mild, Dr Borkar said people should follow all protocols and guidelines and also take vaccine doses to prevent further multiplication and mutation of viruses.
