[轉載]印尼醫師病歿數仍持續上升 醫護接種的都是科興疫苗
https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/3607878
〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕印尼醫療協會(Indonesian Medical Association, IDI)表示,因印度Delta病毒入侵造成全國確診病例激增,7月上旬因武漢肺炎(新型冠狀病毒病,COVID-19)過世的醫師人數也急劇上升。外媒表示,印尼有上百萬醫護人員都接種了中國科興疫苗。
《路透》報導,IDI表示,自7月1日至17日,共有117名醫師死亡。印尼自疫情爆發以來共有545名醫師過世,而7月的醫師死亡人數就佔了醫師總死亡人數的20%以上。IDI對此感到擔心,表示醫療系統恐怕會崩潰。
目前印尼醫護人員的疫苗接種率為95%,醫護人員接種的是中國科興疫苗,但染疫死亡人數不減反增,政府決定為接種科興疫苗的醫護人員再接種1劑莫德納疫苗。
印尼今(18)日新增超過4萬例確診及1093例死亡。防疫限制原定於7月20日結束,但疫情並未出現趨緩,因此政府可能會延長防疫限制。

Indonesia reports record number of doctor deaths from COVID-19 in July
JAKARTA, July 18 (Reuters) - Deaths of doctors from COVID-19 in Indonesia rose sharply in the first half of July, according to the profession's association, as the Delta variant of the coronavirus fuelled a surge in infections across the country.
A total of 114 doctors died during July 1-17, the highest number reported for any period of similar length and more than 20% of the 545 total doctor deaths from COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, officials from Indonesia's doctors association (IDI) said during a virtual news conference.
Mahesa Paranadipa, a senior IDI official, said the association was concerned that the medical system may not be able to cope, according to a recording of the event.
"We are worried about the potential of a functional collapse," Paranadipa. "This is the reported data, not yet data that may not have been reported to us."
Doctors deaths have increased in Indonesia, the world's fourth most-populous nation, despite a 95% vaccination rate among health workers. This has prompted the government to use a batch of Moderna vaccines as booster shots to China's Sinovac for healthcare workers. read more
Fuelled by the spread of the more virulent Delta variant, Indonesia has reported more new coronavirus cases than any country in the world in recent days, data from the latest seven-day average from a Reuters tracker showed. It was second only to Brazil in terms of the number of deaths.
Health experts are calling the country the new epicentre of the pandemic. Indonesia reported 44,721 cases and 1,093 new deaths from the virus on Sunday.
The government imposed strict mobility curbs on July 3 to slow the spread of the virus. They are set to end on Tuesday, but may be extended. read more
Adib Khumaidi, head of the IDI's mitigation team, did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments.
