More than 70% of people have received the vaccine twice

According to Fars News Agency’s health group, Mohammad Mehdi Goya, head of the Infectious Diseases Management Center of the Ministry of Health, stressed the importance of the third vaccination and its effect on inhibiting the omicrone strain and said: the third injection of coronavirus vaccine to 90% Delivers.

He said: “The third vaccination is a supplement to the previous two vaccinations and it is necessary for all the dear people of our country to inject the third vaccination of Corona.”

The head of the Center for Infectious Diseases Management of the Ministry of Health added: “With the third injection, the immunity against this virus will reach more than 90% in the vast majority of cases.”

While expressing his appreciation to the people for their cooperation in controlling coronary heart disease during the last two years, he said: In fact, the dear people of our country played the first role in controlling this disease.

Goya continued: “We all know that the virus we are facing now is a rogue and mysterious virus that can quickly change its appearance and cause various clinical symptoms and escape from the human immune system in various ways, and care and It has become very difficult for the whole world to control.

The head of the Center for Infectious Diseases Management said: “The numerous mutations that the virus finds cause its transmissibility to change and the severity of its pathogenicity to vary, sometimes more severe and sometimes milder.”

Goya added: “What is important is that we become more aware of this virus day by day and be able to control the ways it is transmitted and treat the disease it causes in the best possible way and reduce its rebellious power.”

He continued: “One of the most important human weapons to fight this virus is universal vaccination.” The experience of the world and our country has shown that the higher the vaccination coverage, the lower the spread of the disease and the lower the mortality of the disease.

Injection of 112 million doses of vaccine

He added: “Until 4 months ago, about 14 to 15 million people in Iran had received one dose of vaccine.” Vaccination coverage in Iran is now much higher and about 112 million doses of vaccine have been injected, which is about 9 times more than four months ago.

Goya said: “This achievement could not be achieved except with the welcome of the people, which fortunately we are also seeing the fruits of.” The incidence of the disease has dropped proportionally, with deaths from the disease reaching less than 10 percent four months ago.

More than 70% of people have received the vaccine twice

The head of the Center for Management of Infectious Diseases, noting that currently the two main weapons to fight this disease are compliance with health guidelines and vaccinations, said: “So far, we have created very good coverage for two vaccinations in the country and more than 70 Percentage of people received twice.

“Global experience has clearly shown that there is clearly a serious illness and hospitalization or intensive care unit (ICU) and above all,” he said, noting that three doses of the vaccine give people much less coronary heart disease. More dramatically, the death rate is minimized with the third injection.

The head of the Center for Infectious Diseases Management added: “Fortunately, the third vaccination has started in our country for almost two months, but unfortunately, another event that has occurred in the world and we think that Iran will face it soon will be the arrival of the omicron strain.”

Omicron patients double in two days

Goya stated: Omicron strain has a much higher transmission capability than previous strains. When a virus enters a country, it is measured by an indicator of its transmissibility, which is the time when the number of people infected with the virus doubles. This indicator, that is, the doubling of patients in the omicron strain occurs in two days.

“This is a very worrying sign of the spread of the virus,” he said. Among our neighboring countries such as Turkey, Pakistan, the UAE and Oman, we expect our dear people to follow the health protocols more sensitively this time, and more importantly, to take the third vaccination seriously.

The head of the Center for Management of Infectious Diseases noted: The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Ministry of Health have made every effort to provide adequate vaccination to all those who need to receive the third vaccine, all age groups have been determined. It is over 40 years old and will gradually cover the age groups under 40 years old.

He added: “This way, worries about getting the omicron strain and spreading the next wave of the disease will be minimized.” Therefore, the third round of vaccinations is as important as the first and second rounds.

Goya emphasized: “Our request to the dear people is not to miss the opportunity and to go to our centers as soon as possible and get their third vaccination.”
