Apollo Hospital's Pan India study of #Breakthrough infections over 31,621 Healthcare workers showed that only 4.28% (1,335) subjects got infected post-vaccination. @RajeevJayadevan 1/5 #vaccination
The finding also showed only 90 cases (0.28%) required hospitalization, while merely 3 (0.009%) suffered severe complications and progressed to ICU admission. @DrLahariya@satya_yadav 2/5 #VaccinesWork
The most important finding of the study was that there were no deaths in case of COVID infection after vaccination. Many other studies of breakthrough infections have also noted no deaths post-vaccination. @docanoopmisra 3/5 #VaccinesSaveLives
