Most of the 350 doctors and medical workers who got COVID-19 were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, but dozens were in hospital with high fevers and declining oxygen saturation levels

Healthcare workers put on personal protective equipment as they prepare to treat patients at the emergency hospital for COVID-19 in Jakarta on June 17, 2021.More than 350 doctors and medical workers have caught COVID-19 in Indonesia despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalized, officials said, as concerns grow about the efficacy of some vaccines against more infectious variants.

Almost all have received the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac, the Indonesian Medical Association says. Spokespersons from Sinovac and Indonesia’s ministry of health were not immediately available for comment on the efficacy of the Chinese firm’s CoronaVac against newer variants of the virus.

“That phenomenon happens quite often these days, not only within the community, but also healthcare workers,” she said. “They think because they are vaccinated that they are safe.”

Do better. You know that some people aren't even going to click through to read that they recieved the Sinovac vaccine.

Doctors fully vaccinated w sinovac are landing in the hospital and 4 have died. DeltaVariant

Yeah… with Sinovac!

Evidence suggests COVID-19 was in U.S. by December 2019Federal health officials are increasingly accepting a timeline in which small numbers of COVID-19 infections may have occurred in the U.S. before the world ever became aware of a dangerous new virus erupting in China I very much believe that it likely was.
