Head of the National COVID-19 Vaccine Executive Committee Petra Khoury said on Sunday that the country is in midst of a Delta variant’s wave.
“Only one thing beats the pandemic: much higher levels of population immunity,” she added in a series of tweets.
“If it weren't for vaccines, more Covid-19 patients would have been admitted to hospitals today than Fall 2020 when we had similar case rates,” Khoury added.
“September is around the corner, vaccination is our most powerful tool to limit the effects of the fall surge,” she concluded by saying.
