Very very small number of people tested positive after second inoculation, says ICMR DG

A very, very small number of Covid infections have occurred after vaccination in India, said the government on Wednesday. It added that the ongoing immunization drive is “not at all worrisome.”

Balram Bhargava, DG ICMR, said, “Getting infection after vaccination is known as ‘Breakthrough Infection’. 2-4 per 10,000 breakthrough infections have occurred so far, which is a very small number.”

As per the figures shared by the government, about 0.04% people tested positive after second dose of Covaxin and 0.03% after second dose of Covishield.

He added, “This is a very small number and not at all worrisome. Secondly, the highly transmissible second wave also contribute miniscule to the percentage so this could have been even zero per cent.”

NITI Aayog member (health) VK Paul said that there is a risk even after taking vaccination so “we stress people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour even after taking the vaccination.”
