About 83,000 thousand adults in Cyprus have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus, said Professor of Pharmacy, Christos Petrou.
Speaking on state radio, he admitted that interest from unvaccinated people is now greatly reduced. He noted that about 1,200 vaccinations are carried out daily, of which a thousand are the third dose.
Responding to those who question the effectiveness of vaccines, Christos Petrou said that the mortality rate among vaccinated people is extremely low. Specifically, he mentioned that per 100,000 unvaccinated, mortality is 80 people, while for those fully vaccinated, the number decreases to 7.8 people.
Dr. Petrou noted, however, that despite the increase in cases in Europe, the high rate of vaccination coverage has limited hospital admissions, heavy hospitalizations and deaths due to the pandemic.
