COVID-19 vaccines work : PGH data shows lower COVID-19 infections among fully-vaccinated health workers

A doctor from the Philippine General Hospital on Thursday shared a graph that showed the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly among health care workers. He particularly posted July 2021 Hospital Infection Control Unit update in preparation against the Delta variant. “As more health care workers got fully vaccinated, the total no of COVID-1919 infections among the frontliners decreased,” Del Rosario said. “Those who were fully vaccinated and then acquired COVID-19 had mild infection,” he added.   In the graph, PGH recorded only 28 new COVID-19 cases in June. Of these, only six were admitted as “mild COVID-19.” Since last May, the number of COVID-19 infections have also decreased among PGH staff from 286 cases to 166 in April and then 26 in June.

If we get enough data on waning immunity for instance.we may have to recommend this third dose sooner than later - especially for those who are more susceptible to infections like senior citizens and people with comorbidities - Vaccine Expert Panel head Dr. Nina Gloriani told CNN Philippines The Final Word. She said they are currently meeting with other experts in the country and are monitoring developments abroad. They are also waiting for more data overseas, as well as data from the local study that started in the Philippine General Hospital, which will determine the anti-body levels among vaccinated Filipinos, Gloriani added.
