A recent study by the Indian Council for Medical Research found that “smart vaccination” for the pandemic of Covid-19 provides a better option to health than mass immunisation. In a case when there is an inadequate supply of vaccination to cover all priority groups, model predictions imply that everyone above 60 vaccine workers and afterwards persons with co-morbids should receive priority after key employees.
The study reveals that vaccination 60 per cent effectiveness will lower Covid-19’s peak symptom incidence by 20.6% and overall death by 29.7 per cent for all target categories.
The same infection-preventing vaccination will lower the highest incidence of symptoms by 10.4% and cumulative death by 32.9%, with the capacity to prevent symptoms, rather than infection.
