People who do not get the anti-Covid vaccine also pose a risk to those who have been vaccinated. This information has been received from a model study published on Monday. Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada used the effect of mixing non-vaccinated and vaccinated people to understand the dimensions of infectious disease like SARS-Cov-2 (Coronavirus). A simple model was used to find out.
They artificially mixed populations with people having contact with people who had been vaccinated, as well as contact with other groups.
David Fisman, of the Dala Lane School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, said many opponents of making the vaccine mandatory say it is up to the individual whether or not to get it.
Fisman said in a statement that he found that people who chose not to get vaccinated were at increased risk to those who did get vaccinated.
The study is published in the ‘Canadian Medical Association Journal’. Vaccinated people are less at risk when non-vaccinated people mix with each other.
It states that when vaccinated people mix with non-vaccinated people, many new cases of infection can occur in vaccinated people, even if the vaccination rate is high.
The findings remained stable, despite the vaccine’s efficacy being lower in people who did not receive a booster dose and were suffering from the SARS-CoV-2 variant.
According to the researchers, the findings may also be relevant to the behavior of a new wave of COVID or a new form of virus.
The study says that not getting vaccinated will not only put those who have not been vaccinated but also the people around them.
