Fully-vaccinated people are less likely to be critical and hospitalised in comparison to unvaccinated people post Covid-19 infection, said Health Director Bijay Mohapatra on Friday.
“Covid patients suffer internal infections after recovery. Internal organs like heart, lung and brain are affected more post the infection. However, the post Covid complications are less on the fully vaccinated people,” said Mohapatra.He urged the people in the State to get the double doses of vaccines at the earliest as the effect of post-Covid effects on the fully vaccinated people are less.
“Covid-19 has serious effects on the unvaccinated people. Mostly the unvaccinated people are getting critical and they require hospitalisation during the infection. They are most likely to suffer from serious infections in their internal organs post the infection. Hence people should be more careful.,” said Mohapatra. He also urged people to avoid crowd during the upcoming Durga Puja to prevent the spike in Covid-19 cases after the festival.“It will not at all be possible to maintain social distancing during Puja times.
So, everybody should be careful to avoid crowd. I request one and all to adhere to the Covid-19 guidelines strictly during crucial festival time to keep pandemic under control,” said Mohapatra.
