Appearing on an interactive live session with followers on her Facebook page, Dr. Soundararajan pointed out that the remaining 5% of patients who required oxygen-supported ICU care were those who had taken the vaccination very recently. Adding to what she shared during a media interaction earlier in the day, the Lt.
