Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 infection is widely spread over people, from youth to the elderly. Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is an important preventive measurement to help end the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. From 30 April to 15 July, we collected the number of people infected with SARS-COV-2 and the mortality rate from daily reports issued by the National Center for Disease Control of Libya (NCDC). Approximately 445000 doses have been administered in Libya since 10 April, and 5 thousand doses are now being administered during this period on a daily basis. To estimate the rate of breakthrough vaccine infection of the SARS-COV-2 in Libya. We found that one dose of the three different types of vaccines had decreased the virus transmission across people and mortality rate until 10 weeks after the first dose. This study highlights the dramatic success of the early months of the nation’s coronavirus vaccines rollout.
