KUCHING, Aug 9 ― There have been no reports of deaths caused by Covid-19 among those who have been fully vaccinated, or at least 14 days after the second dose, said Sarawak Health Department director, Datuk Dr Mohamed Sapian Mohamed.
“A total 21 had only received the first dose of the vaccine when they tested positive, while three of the dead had received the first and second dose before testing positive, but within 14 days from the last dose,” he said in a statement today. “This achievement is due to the efforts and cooperation of several parties: the Sarawak Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force , medical workers, volunteers and the public who came forward to take up the vaccine,” he said.
He said the daily admissions for clinical level 3 to 5 patients was 44 as at August 8, with new hospital admissions averaging 5.5.
