Wow over the past week, mobile vaccination teams have done about a third of the weekly vaccinations for people aged 60+ in Ukraine.
Vaccination among the elderly lags the general public in Ukraine. Part of that is due to misinformation with many unvaccinated elderly thinking that their comorbidities prevent them from getting vaccinated when in fact their comorbidities are why they really should get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
But another reason is that many of the elderly live in more rural areas of Ukraine and aren't as able to reach vaccination sites.
Khmelnytsky, Luhansk (Ukrainian controlled areas), and Zakarpattia are entering the red level of pandemic restrictions on February 11th.
Luhansk and Zakarpattia have been over 60 hospitalizations per 100k.
Khmelnytsky is now above 100 hospitalizations per 100k.
Rivne and Ivano-Frankivsk have been at the red level for the last couple of weeks. Hospitalizations in both oblasts have been declining.
