The Corona pandemic is increasingly a concern for the younger and unvaccinated population. For example, the incidence among unvaccinated under-18s is ten times higher than among those who have been vaccinated, according to recent AGES statistics.
Among 18- to 59-year-olds, it is five times higher, and among the 60-plus generation, it is nearly four times higher than among fully immunized people in that age group, the latest data from the Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) show.

Seven-day incidence in unvaccinated continues to rise
Incidence continued to rise in all age groups. Among unvaccinated individuals in the twelve- to 17-year-old age group, it is now 331.53, almost three times higher than in the unimmunized over-60 generation. Among the unvaccinated 18- to 59-year-old group, the incidence is now 284.76 – up from 257.9 a week ago.

The increase is particularly evident in the unvaccinated elderly population. If the seven-day incidence was 85 a week ago, it is now more like 132.52. The seven-day incidences by vaccination status once again make it clear that the Corona protection vaccinations are working. Among immunized twelve- to 17-year-olds, the incidence is only 32.76 – only about one-tenth that of the unvaccinated. It is even lower in the older population. Among those over 60 who are already fully immunized, the incidence is only 31.36, and the 18-59 age group is where most people who have already been immunized become infected. Thus, the seven-day incidence among the vaccinated in this age group is 57.26.

Symptomatic corona infections
AGES has now also published the incidences by vaccination status among those who are also actually symptomatic, i.e., infected. In the youngest age group of 12- to 17-year-olds, the seven-day incidence among vaccinated and symptomatic adolescents as of September 6 was 10.32, while among the unvaccinated it was about 16 times higher at 164.44. In the 18- to 59-year-old age group, 37.25 per 100,000 population became ill among vaccinated individuals, while 172.47 per 100,000 developed symptoms after infection with SARS-CoV-2 among the unvaccinated. Among those over 60 years of age, 14.24 per 100,000 population developed covid-19, four times more among the unvaccinated. Thus, the seven-day incidence in the unimmunized over-60 age group was 56.97.

Only 6,359 immunizations administered as of Monday. Only 30.29 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds have been fully vaccinated, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Health. The 18- to 59-year-old group has 62.49 percent fully immunized. The highest vaccination coverage rate is among the 60-plus generation: 83.18 percent are doubly vaccinated, and 86.10 percent have received at least one stitch.
