The corona spread in some states in the country does not seem to be ending. After just 168 days, the positivity rate has crossed 7%. The Union Health Ministry gave this information on Monday. According to the ministry, this rate has more than doubled in the last 14 days, as it was 3.2% on July 11. According to the WHO, a positivity rate of more than 5% is a matter of concern. Here, on Monday, 13,952 new cases came in the country, 17,718 patients were cured. While 35 infected died.
A total of 7.37 crore people in the country have been given booster doses. On July 13, the government had announced to install boosters for 18+ people free of cost. After this, in just 13 days (between July 13 and 25), 2 crore people have got preconception doses. Between July 1 and 12, only 53 lakh people had got a booster dose, that is, the speed has increased up to 4 times.
Yet we are still behind, as it has been 6 months since 69 crore people got the second dose, but about 90% of them have not got a booster yet. Maximum 2.45 crore booster doses have been given to those above 60.
Only 2 doses ineffective in 6 months, 52% protection from booster
The immunity obtained by applying both the doses of the vaccine starts decreasing in 4-6 months. That is, the protection against re-infection is almost over. That’s why it is necessary to have a booster. Research conducted in collaboration with Qatar’s Ministry of Health says that the third dose, ie booster, reduces the risk of infection by 52%.
Dr. Ram S. of Harvard Medical School. Upadhyay told in a conversation with Bhaskar – Booster dose increases immunity manifold and the risk of re-infection decreases. Protects immunity from chronic infection for 14 months.
