A comparison of deaths (per 100,000 population) shows that people who received a primary vaccination in December had a 5.5-fold lower risk of death from non-vaccinated / partially vaccinated people than those who received a primary vaccination course. Covid-19 infection was 24-fold lower.

Analyzing the available data on morbidity, hospitalization and mortality with Covid-19 in relation to vaccination status in December, the SPCC points out that it is very important for people to receive a maintenance vaccine. However, data on hospitalizations and mortality show that primary vaccination still has a good effect against the severe course of the disease, the need for hospital treatment for Covid-19 and death. Therefore, experts urge you to go for a booster vaccine after the prescribed period.

In December, in Latvia, Covid-19 infection was 1.7 times less common in people with primary vaccination than in non-vaccinated or partially vaccinated people, comparing the incidence (per 100,000 population) among vaccinated and non-vaccinated / partially vaccinated people, but those who had also received primary vaccination was reported 5.5 times less frequently.

The SPKC reminds that vaccines do not provide the same level of protection for all people. It should be noted that in cases of high prevalence of Covid-19, the infection is more likely to affect vaccinated individuals. Also, as the number of vaccinated people increases, the proportion of cases of infection in vaccinated people in the total morbidity also increases mathematically. However, the risk of the disease in non-vaccinated people is still significantly higher compared to the incidence of infection in the vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups.
