Report published in the New England Journal of Medicine yesterday found that Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are nearly as effective against delta as alpha variant.
Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant | NEJM
"Vaccines have been found to be highly efficacious at preventing symptomatic disease, as shown by clinical trials7-9 and real-world evidence."
"Overall, we found high levels of vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease with the delta variant after the receipt of two doses. These estimates were only modestly lower than the estimate of vaccine effectiveness against the alpha variant."
All good news. Just need to hope the success continues when we are on the upsilon variant.
