National Epidemiologist also added that at 70% herd immunity, the target population is 50,400 and at this stage, Dominika will be at 43% mark of fully vaccinated individuals in the country. The number of cases on average per day went down from 55 cases to 50 cases as the cases are receiving an initial downward trend.
With the proportion of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, it was revealed that 75% of persons who are positive with COVID-19 are unvaccinated with the vaccine. Following the detail of active cases, over 79% of persons active with the virus are mild to asymptomatic. Whereas, 13% are showing moderate symptoms and are recovering well. 7% are admitted to the hospital in the COVID-19 unit for treatment. According to Yale University Professor, Jeffrey Townsend, Dr Ahmed emphasised the infection in unvaccinated people is possible within three months. “Therefore, those who have been naturally infected should get vaccinated. Previous infection alone can offer very little long-term protection against subsequent infections.”Latest
