Experts warn of Covid spike in Kerala as vax immunity wanes

A middle-aged doctor, Abin Thomas (name changed), got infected first, spreading it eventually to his wife and parents. While the rest of them recovered at home, both the elderly required hospitalisation; one of them is still recovering.

Doctors say vaccine-induced Covid immunity is waning, and in the winters, there is likely to be a surge in cases. Kerala, for example, is witnessing a gradual spike in Covid cases in November. Kerala now has 194 active cases, accounting for 61 per cent of the active cases in India.
