#OMRICON 🇿🇦 GOV & PUBLIC HEALTH BRIEFING DATA

Love the way numerous people were spouting “but it is mild this time” without a single data point to support the suggestion

Just a GP who, by her own evidence, had seen just a couple of dozen patients with Omicron, mostly young men
The good news is the early data on vaccination is promising and they have not been boosting.

However. It should be borne in mind that a high proportion of people have not been vaccinated in SA particularly in younger age groups…so more unvaccinated would be expected anyway.
Only time will tell how well, as cases move up through the age groups, how well they will offset risk.

About 65% of the over 60s have been vaccinated.

Fingers crossed.
