The city has been witnessing breakthrough COVID-19 infection among individuals who have taken the booster dose, but experts say the cases were mild, hence there is no need for alarm. Doctors at both civic-run and private hospitals have come across around 40-50 such patients in the past few days.
Dr Smita Chavan, additional dean of SevenHills Hospital which has reported around 27 such cases, said, “Of the 27 patients with booster doses who contracted the infection, 19 got discharged within a week, four in eight days, one in nine days and one in 10 days to recover. Among these patients, 13 were in the age group of 22 to 40, 10 were aged between 41 and 59, while four were senior citizens. Even one of the doctors got infected with the virus.”
