Data from the health authorities in the United States of America (USA), showed that 25% of the infected people with the Coronavirus in Los Angeles, California were of those who received the anti-corona vaccine between May and July this year.
The weekly report of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collects and analyzes local data in order to decide whether the Americans need a bolstering dose to strengthen the immunity system in those who have been vaccinated.
The new study, published today, Tuesday, dealt with 43 thousand patients infected with COVID-19 at ages of 16 years and above in Los Angeles County.
However, the vaccines succeeded in protecting the infected people from the serious symptoms of the disease so less than 3.2% of those who have been vaccinated were admitted to hospitals to receive treatment.
Only.,05% of the patients were transferred to the intensive care units as they suffered from complicated symptoms.
The study pointed out a reduction in the effectiveness of the anti-corona vaccines as the “ Delta” strain is still sweeping through the world.
The effectiveness of the vaccines decreased from 91% to 66% according to the authors of the study.
It is worth noting, that the US scientists who work for the government agencies submitted last week a strategy to give the bolstering doses throughout the country as of September 20 but they are waiting for evaluations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In the same context, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that the infection with COVID-19 is still spiking in all continents of the world, indicating that four million people were infected with the virus throughout the first week of August.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director Manager of the WHO, said over his weekly news conference, that the five administrative areas under the organization, witnessed a rise in infections by 80% over the last four weeks.
Ghebreyesus added that infections in Africa rose due to the “Delta” variant which spreads out rapidly in parts of the planet as it was detected in 132 countries so far, pointing out that the rates of detecting the virus are very thin in low-income nations which is still under 2% of the population there compared to the developed countries.
Ghebreyesus said that 50% of the countries were able to vaccinate 10% of their population, meanwhile, 25% of these countries vaccinated some 40% of the population. However, three countries only across the globe vaccinated 70% of the population.
He warned that the world is still away from attaining the target of vaccination of 10% of the world’s population by the end of September, 40% by the end of the current year, and 70% of the World’s population by mid of next year, unveiling that 70 % of the African countries couldn’t vaccinate 10% of their populations by next September.
