NDTV
Apollo Hospitals conducted the study on 31,621 healthcare workers in its 43 units in 24 cities. Some of them had received one dose of Covid vaccines.
Covid vaccines provided protection in more than 95 per cent of recipients, with post-vaccination infection occurring in only 4.28 per cent of those who received the jabs, according to a study on over 31,600 vaccinated healthcare workers by a leading hospital chain. Apollo Hospitals today released the results of a study of healthcare workers across India conducted over four months beginning January 16 this year to May 30 and covering 31,621 healthcare workers who were either completely vaccinated or had received only a single shot of the either of the two-dose vaccines Covishield and Covaxin. Commenting on the study, Dr Prathap C Reddy, Founder Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, "This study reiterates the fact that our mainstay against COVID-19 is mass vaccination. Vaccines are not only safe, but they also help prevent severe manifestations of COVID-19 and will help save lives. The results of this large study across India make for a compelling case for citizens above the age of 18 to come forth and get vaccinated in order for us as a country to tide over the COVID-19 crisis." "With greater availability of the vaccines in the coming weeks, the number of vaccines administered each day should increase. We should aim to vaccinate 5 million Indians per day consistently. The main conclusions from the study are that post-vaccination infections are usually minor and vaccination helps to prevent severe infection, ICU admissions, and death," Dr Reddy added.
