“The impact of vaccination on epidemiological situation is significant and proven. 95% of those who are infected are unvaccinated and given the high transmissibility of the virus it is a strong indicator in favor of the effectiveness of vaccination,” Rakacolli said in a televised interview.

She went on saying that, “even serious cases and hospitalizations are mainly unvaccinated. There are also citizens who have been jabbed but it is a small percentage. So the takeaway judging the figures is that vaccination protects people immensely from infection, from the severe form of the disease and death. “Currently 27% of the population has been vaccinated with both doses and over 30% with one dose of the vaccine.”

“This period of time last year saw fewer daily cases but many more hospitalizations. Covid 1 hospital was completely filled up and Covid 2 almost at the end of its capacity. Now, in this period, we can handle the situation with one hospital,” Rakacolli said.
