Minsa: 10 million deaths from COVID-19 in recent months did not have any dose

Now is a requirement

Given the figures that show that vaccination against COVID-19 reduces the risk of mortality, the head of the Minsa urged citizens to complete their immunization, especially since it is now a requirement that those over 18 years of age certify that they have their two doses to enter closed spaces presenting your vaccination card.

“It is absolutely clear that not getting vaccinated generates a high probability, in case of being infected, of going to ICU or dying. The difference is truly abysmal. That is why we continue to insist, although there are sectors that resist. Because, in addition, the person who is not vaccinated is between 3 to 4 times more likely to infect other people who are vaccinated or not “, he pointed out.

To date, a total of 201,770 have died from the coronavirus in Peru. While the total number of infected people reaches 2’254.373. Similarly, 20’058.345 Peruvians already have their doses.
