From a population in which around 90% has been vaccinated, people who have received their jab make up just a quarter of those who have gotten infected with COVID-19. Positive cases figures were provided by Tanya Melillo, head of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Unit. Most of the vaccinated patients were reportedly elderly or immunocompromised. The vast majority of residents are fully vaccinated, going over the 400,000 mark this week. 25% of vaccinated people who tested positive came from a group comprising the vast population majority.
The 75% remaining cases reported in recent months come from a smaller proportion of the population who did not get their vaccination. With proportion of patients requiring hospitalisations down significantly when compared to previous waves, the country reported around 4,500 virus cases since the fourth wave began in July. As of writing this article, 784,626 vaccine doses were administered, with 404,679 having been fully vaccinated.
