ABSTRACT
Aim:
Covid infection after first and second dose of vaccination was assessed in
comparison to unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 infection patients.
Methodology:
Patients
were divided into two groups: those who had not got any immunizations and those
who had received vaccines that were prescribed. Individuals who have taken second
dose of either the mRNA vaccine or the viral vector vaccine and have a positive
COVID-19 within 14 days of receiving their second dose are deemed fully
immunised.
Results: Among
180 patients, the males were 75% and 25% was females. In our study, 16.7%
(30/180) patients still suffered from COVID-19 despite of the fact that they
were vaccinated, but the ratio of immune patients was greater i.e. 83.3%
(150/180).The severity of the symptoms in vaccinated patients was much lesser
and in some cases almost nil. 144/180 (80%) patients did not suffer from any
severe symptoms after vaccination. 33/180 (18.3%) patients showed moderate
symptoms while 3/180 (1.7%) showed severe symptoms. In the analysis of severity
of symptoms of non vaccinated patients, 70% (126/180) showed severe symptoms,
25% (45/180) showed moderate and 5% (9/180) patients showed low symptoms.
Conclusion:
People without
vaccination have more severe symptoms whereas COVID patients with vaccination
had a reduced mortality rate and milder symptoms.
