The study, which was presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) this year revealed that residents of care homes have a higher risk ofExperiment with pierced covid infections. Colmar researchers analyzed a COVID epidemic that occurred in a care home from Eastern France per month after a campaign to vaccinate its 93 residents and 73 staff members with Pfizer were completed.
According to the study, 75% of residents and 52% of staff were fully vaccinated in mid-February. However, the epidemic began on March 15 and 26% of residents and 22% of staff became infected with COVID over seven weeks. Half of the infected residents were fully vaccinated, from an average age of 91 years.
The researchers concluded that the effectiveness of the Pfizer infection infection against infection to elderly residents in care homes was reduced to 68%.

Unvaccinated residents in the care home were still three times more likely to develop COVID compared to entirely vaccinated. Infections between vaccinated residents also seemed to be milder because no serious case has been reported. Meanwhile, there were three cases of serious cavidants among non-vaccinated residents.
"This epidemic highlights the high rates of residents and health workers in long-term care facilities and other centers accepting older patients and those with a number of underlying health conditions",Martin Martinot, Senior Researcher for the study and specialist in internal medicine to Civil Hospital civilians, said in a statement.
Martinot stated that immunization, which is the weakening of the immune system related to age, can contribute to older adults at risk of COVID, even after vaccination. "Immunization against Covid-19, although very protective ... seems a little less effective in our oldest patients. Thus, the realization of the highest vaccination rate is important for preventing epidemics and protect residents and workers Health, "he said.
