Switzerland's Federal Public Health Office (FOPH) recently reported that 66,000 people in Switzerland were vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Ovid-19.
The number was communicated by the FOPH Nora Chronig during a press conference in Bern on January 14, 2021.
66,000 will likely be lower than the current number because of delays in the flow of information by cantonal health authorities at the federal level.
The vaccine began in most Swiss cantons on January 4, 2021, starting with especially vulnerable people.
So far, Switzerland's pharmaceutical approval authority has approved two vaccines. He approved the Pfizer strike / BioNTech on December 19, 2020, and the Moderna vaccine on January 12, 2021. Both such vaccines use ARNi, write Swiss media, records albinfo.ch.
The nation's vaccination work has a long way to go. 66,000 represent less than 1% of Switzerland's population. Compared to most of the world, Switzerland has high levels of inoculation hesitation. A recent study estimated that around 30% would not be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 and another 20% were not safe.
