New Delhi: An Indian study has found that only 0.06 per cent of people need hospitalisation after Covid vaccination and 97.38 per cent of those vaccinated were protected from the virus, media reports said.
Indraprastha Apollo Hospital revealed the results of the study to evaluate the frequency of 'Break Through Infection' (infections after the vaccination) of Covid-19.
The study was conducted on healthcare workers who reported to Delhi's Indraprastha Apollo Hospital with symptomatic Covid-19, during the first 100 days of the vaccination drive using the Covishield vaccine, reports India Today.
The findings are currently under consideration for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal, reports the Indian magazine.
Group Medical Director of Apollo Hospitals Group Dr. Anupam Sibal told news agency ANI, "India has witnessed a huge increase in cases in the second wave of Covid-19 recently, amidst the vaccination drive that is in progress. There have been reports of infections after the vaccination, which are also known as Breakthrough Infections. These infections may occur after partial and full vaccination in some individuals."
India is currently ravaged by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
