The Department of Disease Control states that the booster vaccine reduces deaths 41 times compared to people who have never been vaccinated. And has a mortality rate 7 times less than those who have received 2 injections. Ask at risk groups to get vaccinated before this long holiday.
Dr. Sumanee Watcharasin, MD. Director of the Office of Risk Communication and Health Behavior Development, Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) revealed through a press conference of the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (BDC) on March 7, 2022, in one part that from Analysis of data on people who received the COVID-19 vaccine In the current Lalok outbreak, the Department of Disease Control said that those who received the booster vaccination had seven times lower mortality than those who received the two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and 41 times lower mortality when That compares with those who haven’t been vaccinated, which is about 2 million at the moment.
This is consistent with an analysis of data from Worldmeter from Feb. 15 to Mar. 4, 2022 when comparing the death tolls by country. usa bar and European countries where the number of infected people is on the decline. It was found that the daily death toll during the delta outbreak was higher compared to the omikron outbreak.
However, one of the important factors is getting people’s booster vaccine. which can be seen from Germany and the UK, where nearly 60% of all eligible people are vaccinated. There were fewer deaths during the Omikron outbreak than in the United States, where 28.57% of all eligible people were vaccinated.
Dr. Sumani said that for information in Asia for example in Japan Approximately 22.27% of all eligible vaccinations are vaccinated. while in Korea 62% of all eligible vaccinations received a booster shot. which can be seen that the death toll is not very high for Thailand Approximately 30% of the population is vaccinated with a booster dose. which still has to see whether the death rate will decrease or not during the outbreak of the Omikron But when looking at the infection of the Omikron The number of deaths must not be greater than the delta species.
In addition, the current wave of outbreaks has seen patients with co-morbidities such as terminal cancer. Chronic renal failure, bedridden, and obesity have increased deaths in addition to the elderly. which will have to go into detail and may require further study. Because patients with such co-morbidities are reported in deaths every day. and more reported than any other chronic disease group.
“The group at risk of dying is the elderly group. chronic disease group including the risk groups found in this period including young children who are reported to have been added in this period. which now has a period before the long holiday season, Songkran day. We invite you to ask for cooperation to help people at home with elderly people. chronic disease patients and young children to get more vaccinations before the long holiday,” said Dr Sumani.
