Decreased Covid-19 Incidences Following QazVas Vaccination, According to Bekshin
Chilling out with Dr. Bekshin: ALL ABOUT VACCINATIONS IN ALMATY
Hey there, peeps of Almaty! Dr. Zhandarbek Bekshin, your friendly neighborhood Sanitary Doc, dropped some insights about post-vaccination COVID-19 cases on his Facebook page. Brace your minds, here's the breakdown!
Since spring, Dr. Bekshin and his team have kept a close watch on COVID-19 cases among the vaccinated residents. Among the over 987,000 locals inoculated, there have been 3,239 cases, accounting for a humble 0.33%.
Here's the Lowdown on infection rates post-vaccination:
- Sputnik V: 0.37% of Almaty residents contracted COVID-19 after getting vaccinated with the Russian vaccine.
- Hayat-Vax: 0.27% of the population got infected after taking the Turkish vaccine.
- Sinovac: A mere 0.19% of residents tested positive for COVID-19 after getting the Chinese vaccine.
- QazCovid-in (QazVac): The domestic vaccine showed the lowest infection rate, with only 0.17% of those inoculated becoming COVID-positive.
Those infected usually had mild symptoms, which is good news for all.
"What's most interesting is that the least number of cases is registered after QazVac, our homemade vaccine," said Dr. Bekshin. The deputy chief of the city's infectious hospital added that QazVac has fewer side effects compared to other vaccines and a longer-lasting effect. Hospitalization among QazVac recipients is also relatively rare compared to other vaccines.
"This is fantastic news for our fight against this pandemic in Kazakhstan!" he exclaimed. Dr. Bekshin once again urged Almaty residents to follow hygiene rules and get vaccinated actively. He highlighted that collective immunity is our best weapon against COVID-19.
Now, if you're curious about vaccine efficacy worldwide, here's a heads up: currently, there's no specific data available regarding post-vaccination COVID-19 infection rates for various vaccines in Almaty, Kazakhstan. But, generally speaking, vaccines approved for COVID-19 have shown to lower severe illness and hospitalization rates globally.
For detailed insights on vaccine performance and side effects in Almaty, the smart move is to get in touch with local health authorities or check out recent studies focusing on Kazakhstan's vaccination outcomes. And, of course, keep an eye on the World Health Organization updates for the latest information on vaccine effectiveness against new variants.
