The Vax effect: Role of global vaccination initiatives in pandemic control and impact in Dehradun during COVID-19

Abstract

COVID-19 was one of the most contagious diseases spread throughout the world and caused by the Corona virus. Its cellular and molecular profiling was performed on individuals suffering from Covid-19-like sickness in Dehradun. During this investigation, 100 random samples were taken from patients. Real Time PCR amplification of suspected cases of Covid-19 was done where 68% of the cases were positive. The proportions and patterns of positive cases and hospital admissions for covid-19 in the third wave in Dehradun were significantly different when compared to the first and second waves. This disparity was caused by a number of factors, including changes in lifestyle, natural immunological ability to cope with recent waves of natural infections, and the most important factor, which was that more than 83% of people over the age of 18 years had received the first or both doses of the vaccine. The Covid-19 vaccines were so effective due to which there was a very low rate of serious infection, hospitalization, and mortality.
