Skertsos: The vaccinations have reduced the hospitalisations and deaths from COVID-19

The vaccinations have significantly reduced the hospitalisations and the deaths from Covid-19 and consequently the burden to the health system, stated Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister Akis Skertsos in a post on the social media on Monday.

Skertsos compared the data of the infections and hospital treatments between the third and fourth, and most aggressive, surge of the pandemic from where is apparent a drop in deaths and hospital treatments which is the result of the vaccinations and the immunity level of the population.

"With similar statistics of the virus' circulation and infections in the community, we have a 70 percent drop in daily admissions to hospitals, 80 percent less hospitalised, 85 percent less patients in ICUs and 90 percent less deaths," he underlined and called on the hesitant ones to "rethink it" and choose to get vaccinated "as a self evident action of personal protection and collective responsibility".
