Number of vaccinated against COVID-19 in Belarus reaches 70%

25 июля 2022

We should not forget about coronavirus, which poses a real threat to human health: an increase in the incidence of the disease has been noted in the world. Sanitary and epidemiological services of Belarus continue to monitor the situation. In summer, the incidence of coronavirus infection maintains an annual trend: the number of those infected with Covid decreases, but this does not cancel the fact that it is necessary to prepare for the autumn-winter period in advance. Citizens continue to be vaccinated both in  outpatient clinics and at vaccination centers.

People should still take precautions. At present, in accordance with current documents of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus, as well as other regulations, at least 70% of the population is subject to vaccination. This figure was not chosen by chance, it is the minimum threshold that will prevent the spread of infection both in organized groups, and in the general population.

The nationwide threshold of 70% has already been reached. However, this does not exclude local cases. And in order to reduce the risk of disease, to ease its course and exclude complications, doctors recommend having primary vaccination. You should also not forget about repeat vaccination.
