The Omicron variant has reached 121 countries worldwide as of December 30, and in the last one month more than 330,000 cases of this variant have come to light and more than 60 deaths have been reported. Vaccination campaigns are now being called for in countries around the world, including India, to ban omicron variants.
Happy New Year 2022: The year 2021 has been named after the corona epidemic and this year, the knock of the most dangerous variant of this epidemic, Omicron Variant, has scared everyone.
However, compared to the year 2020, we now have many vaccines available in the fight against Corona, which is why we are fighting hard.
The Omicron variant has reached 121 countries worldwide as of December 30, and in the last one month more than 330,000 cases of this variant have come to light and more than 60 deaths have been reported. Vaccination campaigns are now being called for in countries around the world, including India, to ban omicron variants. 143 crore doses have been issued in India and orders have been issued to intensify the vaccination campaign.
A ray of hope arose from the arrival of the vaccine
The year 2020 came in the wake of Coroid (Covid-19), then in 2021 the plague was a catastrophe and in the same year, a ray of hope also appeared as a vaccine. People all over the world are moving forward with it. Israel and Germany have decided to give a fourth dose of the vaccine to their respective countries in view of the dangerous nature of Omikron.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made two big announcements in his address to the nation on Saturday night at Christmas. First, children aged 15-18 will be vaccinated against corona from January 3, while senior citizens with health care workers (above 60 years of age) will be given precautionary doses from January 10. Prime Minister Modi said that this dose for the elderly would be given on the advice of their doctors.
Immunity up to 9 months after vaccination: ICMR
Like Israel, Germany has begun preparations for a fourth booster dose in the country. There are reports that the German government has placed a large order for a dose of the vaccine to Bioen Tech. However, it is expected to be delivered in April or May. Israel was one of the countries that vaccinated its entire population. This country has started giving its fourth dose. Many of the world's largest countries are also on alert for vaccinations, with pharmaceutical companies ordering extra doses.
Talking about the vaccine being used in India, Dr. Balaram Bhargo, Director General, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), said that there is a complete 'Virgin Kill' vaccine which is a vaccine and Dora is a subunit vaccine based on a viral vector. Covey Shield.
The target of 40% of the population of 92 countries is still incomplete: WHO
Meanwhile, 92 of the 194 member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) have failed to meet the target of vaccinating 40% of their population by the end of 2021. WHO Director-General Tedros has now called for a New Year's resolution pledging to support the vaccination campaign of 70 percent of member states by early July.
According to the WHO, the number of Corona cases reported worldwide last week was 11 percent higher than the previous week, with the United States and other countries experiencing the largest increase. The UN health agency said in its weekly epidemic report released two days ago that between December 20 and 26, about 49.9 million new cases were reported worldwide, with more than half of the cases coming from Europe.
However, the number of cases in Europe has increased by only 3% compared to a week ago. The WHO says new cases in the US continent have risen 39 percent to about 14.8 million. In the United States alone, there have been more than 11.8 million cases, an increase of 34%. The number of victims has risen to about 275,000, with a 7% increase in new cases of corona in Africa. The head of the WHO has issued a tsunami warning to the world from Omekron, in which vaccination has been described as an important weapon.
Now 8 vaccines as a weapon against corona
We had the vaccine in early 2021, but the dose was not high. With the passing of the year, more and more vaccines have arrived.
The Indian government has strengthened its weapons in the fight against corona by approving two more vaccines for emergency use. India now has a total of eight vaccines to fight corona. The Corbevax vaccine for biological E and the Covovax vaccine of the Serum Institute of India has recently been approved for emergency use by the Drug Control General of India (DCGI).
Corbovacin is the third indigenous vaccine developed by Hyderabad-based pharma company Biological E. Earlier, India Biotech's Covovax and Zydus Cadical's ZyCov-D were made in India. All three have undergone clinical trials and preparations in India.
With new hope in the new year, everyone now hopes that this year will be known for the permanent eradication of the Corona epidemic. Although experts say that Corona will be with us for many years to come, we must learn to live with it. The key to avoiding its spread is to learn to take anti-corona measures and to maintain rules and regulations in life. The vaccine is doing the rest.
