BOOSTER DOSE ARE STILL ADMINISTERED AT THE MISHREF VACCINATION CENTER

  • 24/04/2022

Kuwait City: The Kuwait Vaccination Center on the Mishref exhibition grounds, as well as other health institutions throughout the country, are still accepting citizens and residents for the booster shot. According to a health official, as of Tuesday, April 19, approximately 1.3 million people have received the booster dose. More than 3.3 million people have received two doses of the vaccine. COVID-19 infection is currently occurring at a rate of 56 instances per day, with three patients in intensive care and eight cases in COVID-19-designated units. 


The daily infection rate versus the number of swab tests is 1.6 percent. The health official explained that many factors push the concerned authorities in the country to speed up the easing of the restrictions and comprehensive openness, most notably the decline in the infection rate, the strengthening of community immunity, the low number of cases in intensive care and COVID-19 wards, and the decrease in deaths, in addition to very mild symptoms among people who are infected with the virus. However, the Ministry of Health is continuing with the epidemiological investigation and monitoring of variants regionally and globally. 

The percentage of new infection cases versus the number of daily swab tests in the country has decreased to 1.6 percent, which is a positive indicator of the disease’s developments. This is because the efforts of the health staff are continuing on more than one level, such as conducting tests in separate locations to ensure the reduction of spread of infection and transmission of infection to some segments, such as the elderly and those with chronic diseases, especially during social events and Ramadan gatherings. The treatment protocol followed with the COVID-19 patients in the country plays a major role in the patients’ recovery. Patients are treated with the best available treatments, in proportion to the classification of the patient’s condition.
