The data provided to SIGMA by the Ministry of Health in relation to the number of vaccinated and unvaccinated people who ended up due to the coronavirus are revealing.
It seems that the vast majority of those who lost their lives are unvaccinated.
- From the first of January, until the 29th of December, 503 people died due to the coronavirus.
Of these, 76 were fully vaccinated, 40 were partially vaccinated individuals.
- 387 people who died of coronary artery bypass grafting had no history of vaccination.
However, the vaccination program has taken off in the last 24 hours. Even today, when the weather was rainy, queues formed at the vaccination centers.
There are many citizens who cross the threshold of vaccination centers to be shielded with the first, second and booster dose against coronary artery disease.
The General Director of the Ministry of Health Christina Giannaki stated "In the adult population the vaccination coverage reached 86,7% for the first dose and the percentage of fully vaccinated reached a breath before 1%. People now that this outbreak is taking the decision to vaccinate. "Every day we have 83 people in the vaccination centers for the 1000st dose".
Meanwhile, the number of cases recorded daily is unprecedented, with one negative record following the other.
In just 3 days, more than 7 cases were reported, with experts estimating that due to the increased transmissibility of Omicron, the numbers will increase even more in the coming days.
Dr. Petros Karagiannis told SIGMA "From the numbers we have, it is almost certain that Omicron has prevailed in the community and we will have more cases in the coming days. "Realize that we must act responsibly."
At the same time, the estimates of Professor Leontios Kostrikis are promising, stating that in 3 weeks this new wave brought by Omicron will weaken. "This variant was probably the variant that British scientists hoped for in early 2020 to create herd immunity. My calculations say that we will have this wave drop in three weeks. "Fast curve up fast curve down," he said.
In order to increase the vaccination coverage, on Friday, January 7, from 9 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, the Ministry of Health will set up a mobile vaccination unit at the Lefkara Conference Center, for the vaccination of the residents of the wider area.
