MUMBAI: Almost 95% of Covid-19 deaths at state-run medical colleges in the past two months have been among the unvaccinated.
In a strong demonstration of how effective vaccination is against Covid, the analysis also found that 87.5% of those hospitalised were not vaccinated.
A study by the medical education department showed that there have been 15,202 hospitalisations across government medical colleges between May 11 and July 12 of which as many as 13,298 (87.5%) had not received a single dose. It also means that vaccinated people accounted for merely 13% of hospitalisations. The impact of vaccines on mortality numbers appeared starker. Of 4,942 deaths among those admitted, 4,681 had not got a shot.

The load on tertiary health services during the pandemic can be reduced by strengthening community health centres
