Situation

For example, he detailed that until Monday, January 10, 99 hospitalized patients out of a total of 130 did not have any type of vaccine.
Meanwhile, six hospitalized had one dose and 25 had their second dose.
“What does this mean? That 81% of the patients hospitalized in Mexico City, in hospitals of the Secretariat of Mexico City, which are representative – we believe – of the rest of the Metropolitan Area, did not have their complete vaccination schedule, “he said.
“The risk of unvaccinated people of getting sick and getting worse is disproportionately much higher,” he added.
