Since we cannot avoid the coronavirus, we have to co-exist with the virus, so vaccination is inevitable, but it is not 100% guaranteed that COVID-19 will not be infected after being vaccinated.
Health Minister KJ said frankly that those who have completed the vaccination are still at risk of infection and death in Covid-19.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research, a working group of experts is responsible for breaking through case-related studies involving 14 million people. Regardless of the brand of vaccine administered, the mortality rate was only 0.001% and the patient’s chance of hospitalization in the intensive care unit was 0.007%, demonstrating that the vaccine was still effective.
“Yes, we know that people who have completed vaccination will still die because the vaccine cannot be fully protected, but the probability is 0.001% and (the probability of being admitted to the intensive care unit) is 0.007%.”
This is what KJ said in the House of Representatives as he gave a sectoral summary of the debate to thank the head of state for his words.
Concerning the re-infection of VOC after having been infected with non-VOC strains in the past, KJ said that the rare occurrence of serious symptoms and death among people who had received the vaccine indicated that the vaccine still worked even if the disease recurred.
