But it is “a huge difference” whether Omikron meets a person who has been vaccinated three times or who has not been vaccinated or who has been vaccinated a long time ago, the doctor said in a television interview on Phoenix. That is why the vaccination campaign is so important.
“Omicron in the unvaccinated is still a risk-fatal disease that still has a mortality rate of about 1 percent,” Montgomery warned. “As doctors, we have to prevent that by telling people: You have a great chance of surviving this disease well and easily with the vaccination.”
Montgomery welcomed the fact that no easing of the containment measures was decided in the federal-state round of corona policy on Monday. “Currently is not the time” for going back, he judged. “We’re not over the top of the wave yet.”
