Over 16% of fully vaccinated healthcare workers at the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, were found to have symptomatic breakthrough infections even after receiving two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
None of them, however, required intensive care unit support, says a first-of-its-kind study in Kerala titled ‘Breakthrough infection following COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare workers in South India’.
The analysis was done by T. Jayakrishnan, Associate Professor, Department of Community Medicine, and Ardra Merin George, junior resident doctor, at the hospital. The peer-reviewed article is slated to be published in Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research in its October issue. The period of study was between February 27 and June 27.
