. (Tribune News Service) A quarter of eligible South Carolinians have now been completely vaccinated against COVID-19, yet state health officials have recently discovered a small number of coronavirus infections among fully inoculated people. These cases, which are called breakthrough infections, are extremely rare and typically mild, according to public health experts. It s important to track the breakthrough cases, researchers say, to possibly identify new and troubling coronavirus mutations, if they emerge. The cases may also provide insight into how effective the vaccines are in immunocompromised patients who have weakened immune systems and struggle to fight off infections. The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control as of April 8 had identified 155 breakthrough cases in the state, according to spokeswoman Cristi Moore. Seventeen of those patients were hospitalized and at least one person had died.
India is headed towards the fourth wave of the coronavirus, which could cause irreparable damage to its
population and economy. It can only be stopped by public awareness, sacrifice and cooperation.
