Abstract

In a letter to President-Elect Josephs R. Biden on January 19, 2021, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) emphasized the significance of COVID-19 immunization for neurosurgeons in order to reach the worldwide objective of vaccination. In a report, only one death is reported from 264,00,000 vaccinated people. In negative-vaccinated individuals, the death rate is 2-3% in younger adults, whereas 7-10% is reported in older people. COVID-19 was reported in less severity in those who were positive-vaccinated. According to a latest survey, 60% of Pakistani neurosurgeons were COVID-19 positive, mostly from the hospital environment. High level of acceptance and motivation is found in our neurosurgeons. 91% of our neurosurgeons have been vaccinated. Mostly received the SinoPharm and Oxford AstraZeneca.
