Covid, Iss: “Incidence among vaccinated 10 times lower than in unvaccinated”

New update of the ‘Faq’ on Covid-19 cases registered among the vaccinated, prepared by the Higher Institute of Health (Iss). “If anti-Covid vaccinations in the population reach high levels of coverage, the paradoxical effect occurs whereby the absolute number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths can be similar between vaccinated and unvaccinated – it reads – In these cases, however, the incidence (understood as the ratio between the number of cases and the population) is about 10 times lower in vaccinated than in unvaccinated. These numbers, if read correctly, therefore, reaffirm how effective vaccination is “. “The” anti-Covid vaccine, “when administered with the entire cycle – it is written in the update – is effective in protecting the population. However it should be remembered that, the more the virus circulates – for example, for a non-optimal vaccination coverage in all age groups and / or non-compliance with restrictions – the greater the risk that the virus is transmitted to subjects at risk of severe disease even if vaccinated “and that it favors” the phenomenon of the appearance of new variants “.
