Abstract

Globally, the number of reported COVID-19 cases from December 2019 to 6 May 2022 was 513,955,910 and the reported number of deaths during this period was 6,190,349 (ref. 1). The number of hospitali-zed cases all over the world due to the pandemic started declining at the begin-ning of April 2022 (ref. 2). Globally, the number of fully vaccinated individuals as of 6 May 2022 was 5.1 billion (ref. 1). Vaccinated individuals have higher chances of not being hospitalized2, but they still have some probability of acquiring the virus3. This indicates that COVID-19 transmission occurs between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
