A single dose of a vaccine against Covid-19 can cut the risk of passing the disease on to household members by up to half, according to the most comprehensive real-world study into post-immunisation transmission risk.
The discovery that people who develop the infection after immunisation are far less likely to infect the people they live with will boost hopes that the spread of the disease can be slowed significantly, including among younger people who have yet to receive the jab.
A total of 33,843,580 Britons have now received at least one dose of vaccine and one in four adults are now fully vaccinated, according to the latest data. Invitations to get their jabs were sent to 42-year-olds in England for the first time on Tuesday as the UK’s mass immunisation programme, one of the most successful in the world, moves down the age groups.
