Vaccination against the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease reduces the risk of hospitalization and severe disease by 15 times, according to the website of the Ministry of Health.
According to a report citing preliminary data from the analysis of COVID-19 cases in Ukraine over the past three months, only 0.7% of people diagnosed with COVID-19 were fully vaccinated, and 0.4% of those hospitalized were fully vaccinated.
The risk of getting sick among unvaccinated people is almost 8.5 times higher, and the risk of being hospitalized is almost 15 times.
The Ministry of Health notes that these are preliminary data, and they do not take into account asymptomatic diseases, as well as those cases in which patients did not do tests and did not seek medical help. However, statistics shows that all vaccines used by Ukraine effectively prevent severe disease.

Sady Dnipra LLC (Gardens of Dnipro, Pidhirne, Dnipropetrovsk region), which grows products under TM UApple, will install a photo analyzer on the fruit sorting line that can examine irregularities on the surface of fruits and under it, which will improve the quality of the company’s products, business owner Vadym Ermolaev wrote about this on Facebook.
“Sady Dnipra will introduce smart sorting technology on its line. We will improve the line photo analyzer – its “brain,” the system that scans the fruit according to several parameters. The line’s ability to recognize defects in apples and pears, the first yield of which will be harvested next fall, will be improved,” he wrote.
Ermolaev said that the company carried out the modernization of the sorting line in 2019, but intends to carry it out this year as well, since it does not want to miss out on the new technology. The photo analyzer module, consisting of a color and infrared camera, can take up to 80 high-definition photos of each apple, as well as analyze every unevenness of the apple on its skin and even under it.
The State Tourism Development Agency recommends that hotels take measures to vaccinate their staff against COVID-19 in the near future. Hotels, whose personnel are fully vaccinated, will be provided with a “safety mark”, head of the State Agency for Tourism Development Maryana Oleskiv told Interfax-Ukraine.
“To organize vaccination, the authorized person of the hotel must provide information to the State Tourism Development Agency (location of the hotel, number of employees for vaccination, contact person). We will transfer this information to the Ministry of Health to ensure priority vaccination of the tourism industry,” Oleskiv said.
The head of State Tourism Development Agency said that after vaccination of all hotel personnel, they will be provided with a confirmation in the form of a “Safety Sign” sticker, and this information will be included in the list of State Tourism Development Agency hotels, the staff of which is fully vaccinated.
“The list of such hotels will be published on the official website of State Tourism Development Agency,” Oleskiv said.
