The Second lecture of “Lecture by Legend” was successfully concluded with a quote from Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Additional Director, Department of Orthopedics & Joint Replacement at Jaypee Hospital, Noida. Dr. Gupta said, “Vaccination is the biggest guard. The need of the hour is Mass Vaccination Drive (MVD). Various Covid-19 vaccines have been shown 70% and 80% efficacy and effectiveness. The vaccine doesn’t protect against the infection, but against moderate or severe disease and hospitalisation.” He added that in cases where infection was reported despite vaccination, reflected milder impact and there were lesser instances of mortality among those who had taken both doses of the vaccine. He appealed everyone to get vaccinated.
