Limpopo and Western Cape cite vaccine effectiveness for low hospital admissions

Van der Heever and Ramathuba admitted that, while the presence of the Omicron variant had contributed to the increase in infections, their respective provinces had not seen a significant increase in hospital Covid-19 related admissions yet, ascribing this to the “effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing severe illness”.

Van der Heever said: “As with previous waves, the provinces with the highest population figures have always experienced more infections and deaths than those provinces with lower population figures. This is directly linked to community transmission. The more people in a province, the higher the infection rate and the higher the chance of deaths being recorded.

“Watching from the previous waves, when the number of positive cases start to peak, yes, you will see the number of admissions also increase, but it is usually about two weeks after the new wave that we see more hospital admissions, and then later on, about a month later, we see an increase in the number of Covid-19 related deaths.”Voices | An insight into why South Africans are vaccine hesitant
