This is scary news 95.6% Omicron cases in Germany among vaccinated – RKI

Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said in a report that out of 4,206 individuals in the country diagnosed with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 for whom the vaccination data is available, 4,020, or 95.6%, have been fully inoculated against the disease. The RKI stressed that out of the vaccinated infected people, 1,137 received their booster dose as well. Meanwhile, 186 people, or 4.42% of those who got Omicron were not vaccinated. The total number of confirmed Omicron cases in Germany stands at 16,743, most of which displayed none or only mild symptoms of the disease. Only 0.03% of people who got Omicron died after being infected, while 1.2% were hospitalized. These numbers are significantly lower than death and hospitalizations rates among people infected with earlier variants of COVID-19.
