Preaching To The Converted
Upper Hutt's most Covid vaccinated locality is Trentham right where I live. We are currently at just over 90%.
This compares with the lowest vaccinated residents which is Maoribank and its surrounds with 76%. But the worse performing area of the Hutt Valley is the Delaney area of Stokes Valley at 67%.
Has the message not gotten through entirely to these places?
All approved Covid 19 vaccines are effective against the infection including the Delta variant and they prevent to a great extent the virus from spreading, from being severe and requiring hospitalisation and death from the disease.
The CDC came up with this equation: unvaccinated people are 11 times more likely to die of Covid 19.
CDC says vaccinated people are five times less likely to get infected and 10 times less likely to end up in hospital. These figures are pre the full effects of the Delta variant but will have changed little.
NZ's Ministry of Health says 97% of those being hospitalised in NZ are unvaccinated.
The ministry estimates that less that 100 people in the entire country would be unable to take the Pfizer vaccination but for many of these one of the other approved vaccines would be suitable.
