Hundreds of medical workers in Indonesia may have caught COVID-19 despite being vaccinated because they have higher risk of exposure to the disease due to their occupation, a health expert said Friday.

The widespread presence of Delta coronavirus variant in the Southeast Asian country may have also caused the infection, Dr. Rontgene Solante told Teleradyo.

"Araw-araw mataas ang risk niyan dahil araw-araw hinahawakan 'yong COVID," said Solante, an infectious diseases specialist and member of the country's vaccine expert panel. Most of the workers were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, said Badai Ismoyo, head of the health office in the district of Kudus in central Java. However, dozens were in hospital with high fevers and falling oxygen-saturation levels.

Almost all have received the COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Chinese biopharmaceutical company, the Indonesian Medical Association has said."Malaki ang benefit pa rin ang nakukuha sa bakuna. Because of the vaccine, kaya 'yong sintomas hindi tumuloy doon na nagka-symptom sila," he said.
