According to Fars News Agency’s health correspondent, Hamidreza Jamaati stated: “Today, in the 51st meeting of the National Scientific Committee of Corona, the latest vaccination situation in the country and the need for a quick decision on injecting additional doses and reminders of Corona vaccine were discussed.”
He added: “Cases of Omicron variant have been identified in different countries and due to the high transmission of this type of mutation, there are concerns and various studies have shown that in African countries, the vaccination rate is very low and less than 40%, this mutation It has occurred in the corona, although there have been several mutations in the corona, and there may have been more than 50 types of mutations that caused the omicron mutation.
The Secretary of the National Scientific Committee of Corona stated: “The most important way to deal with new variants of the virus, including omicron, vaccination, observance of health protocols and restrictions at the border points of countries, especially countries that trade with African countries.” At present, some European countries have imposed restrictions on their borders, and these cases were reviewed by the Scientific Committee, and emphasis was placed on increasing vaccination coverage, the need to follow more health protocols, and injecting additional or reminder doses.
“So far, about 85% of the target population has been vaccinated with the first dose and about 70% with the second dose of Corona vaccine,” Jamaati said. People who are not vaccinated increase the prevalence of the virus in the community, and waves of epidemics, pandemics, and corona waves are created from non-vaccinated people.
“Studies in the world and in Iran have shown that people who have been vaccinated are much safer than those who have not been vaccinated, and the rate of hospitalization and non-vaccinated mortality is much higher than those who have been vaccinated,” he said. They have been injected, so it is recommended that the vaccine be given with a high coverage. Studies have also shown that the corona vaccine, along with the observance of health protocols, is one of the most important methods of reducing hospitalization and mortality of coronary patients.
The Secretary of the National Scientific Committee of Corona continued: “The National Anti-Corona Headquarters and the executive headquarters of this headquarters can make decisions and impose restrictions on people who have not been vaccinated, because these people can be the source of disease waves in the country.” .
