The province of Soria will close May with an epidemiological situation very different from what was registered at the beginning of the month. The incidence has gone from exceeding 150 cases per 100,000 inhabitants to 92, placing it at a medium risk and with several indicators (such as the percentage of cases with traceability, the positivity of the tests, or the occupation by covid patients in the plant) in new normal data.
There is more than hopeful data that shows that the vaccination campaign is paying off. In the last week, no one over 65 has been infected in the province of Soria. The best indication of all of Castilla y León, where the average number of infections in this age range is 17.27 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days.
This situation is derived from the vaccination campaign, which, although it has slowed down in recent weeks due to a decrease in the shipment of vials, continues to advance in Soria. In the province, 31% of the population (28,687 Sorians) have already received the complete guideline against the coronavirus and 46% of Sorians have been inoculated with at least one dose.
But to understand the relationship between the decrease in incidence among the elderly and vaccines, it is necessary to attend to the different age ranges. In Soria, 100% of those over 89 years of age already have the full cycle. 96% of people between 80 and 89 years old have been inoculated with the two doses. And 100% of those between 70 and 79 years old could achieve immunity in a few days having also received the two punctures against Covid-19.
56.5% of Sorianos between 60 and 69 years old have also reached the full cycle, compared to 14.5% of those between 50 and 59 years old, the age range that stars in the campaign during these days.
In short, the new infections are occurring in Soria in people under 65 years of age. Prevention should increase among the youngest because the average age of those who require hospital care is also decreasing.
