This 2022 recorded more deaths than 2021 among people who had already been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Last year there were 201 coronavirus deaths, while this year there were 292, implying a 45% increase between the two periods, data obtained via Transparency through its Epidemiology department indicate.
In both years, Ciudad Juárez documented 493 deaths from Covid-19 in vaccinated people.
The above, while the “booster” or third booster against SARS-CoV-2 in adults in this city has lost its effect and the federal government has not disclosed that there is a subsequent injection plan.
Alonso Ríos Delgado, president of the Medical College, explained that it is still essential to use a face mask, since although biologics help avoid serious conditions, their protection can be varied.
“There is no certainty about the average duration of vaccine effectiveness. If you remember, at first it was supposed to be a vaccine, but then they realized that after three months the vaccinated were reinfected and the second vaccine was proposed, and so on,” said the health professional, who stressed that it is It is important that the Federal Executive consider sending more antivirals to Juárez.
Through the request 080142922000501, the Chihuahua Health Services area highlighted that there are also other causes, such as the immunological status of the inoculated, the comorbidities and the time between the application and the infection.
Juárez was supplied with 2.9 million doses from at least five different pharmaceutical companies. More than 1.2 million inhabitants with at least one shield were thus reached, which is equivalent to 91% of those that can be immunized.
“We know that with four doses the immune system is strengthened, and obviously, when you contract the disease, the effects and above all the development of a serious disease are less likely (…) So, this is the detail. For this reason, we have proclaimed to the rooftops so that the use of the face mask will not be removed,” explained Ríos Delgado. He stressed that caution should be exercised in the meantime.
Officially, 2 million 981 thousand 682 antivirals from multiple laboratories were applied in the city. There were one million 766 thousand 651 from Pfizer for adults and 209 thousand 967 for children.
