“Increased deaths are a feature of the prevailing epidemiological environment,” said Pulmonology Professor Nikos Tzanakis, speaking. in SKAI.
He stressed, no, that Omicron 2 “penetrates vulnerable groups very easily”. Even if they are triple vaccinated they have so many problems that they cause complications with the infection.
They are in danger mainly those over 75 years old who are in nursing homes or clinics, while those who are up to 65 years old and have regulated their health problems are not at risk with 3 doses of vaccine.
Also at risk are those who have not built a defense against drugs or illness or those whose immune system has not responded.
All of them should be vaccinated with a 4th dosepointed out Mr. Tzanakis.
Finally, he estimated that we will continue to have over 10,000 cases of coronavirusbut not more than 20,000.
