Study of 31,000 vaccinated healthcare employees at Apollo reveals lower than 5% received Covid, no deaths

A examine of over 31,000 vaccinated healthcare employees at Apollo Hospital models throughout the nation has discovered that lower than 5% have been contaminated with Covid, with a small proportion of hospitalisation and no mortalities.
The examine, masking the interval from the beginning of the vaccine drive on January 16 to May 31­, coated 31,621 healthcare employees (HCWs) from 43 models of Apollo Hospitals in 24 cities. Among the HCWs, 25,907 or 81.9% have been absolutely vaccinated whereas 5,714 or 18.1% had acquired solely the primary dose.

During the interval of the examine, 1,355 have been contaminated with Covid, — 4.28% of the full. Of these, 90, or 0.28% of the full, required hospitalisation. Only three circumstances required ICU care and there have been no mortalities.
“Out of the fully vaccinated workers, 1,061 or 4.09% reported post-vaccination infections, while 294 or 5.14% of the partly vaccinated workers tested positive… The most important finding of the study was that there were no deaths in case of Covid infection after vaccination,” mentioned Dr Anupam Sibal, Group Medical Director, Apollo Hospitals.

A big majority of the HCWs, 28,918, had acquired Covishield and a couple of,703 had acquired Covaxin. According to the examine, the incidence of post-vaccine an infection in those that had been administered Covishield was 4.32% and in those that had acquired Covaxin was 3.85%.
“Of the 90 cases who required hospitalisation, 48 were males and 42 were females with the majority, that is 83 cases, being below 50 years of age. Of the 3 ICU admissions, 2 were males and 1 was female, between the ages of 25 to 39 years, with 2 fully vaccinated and 1 partially vaccinated,” mentioned Dr Raju Vaishya, one of many key authors of the examine.
