Getty Images | Chen Junxia | Xinhua News Agency People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are still getting infected with the delta version, but most people have been spared from becoming very ill or dying as a result of the vaccinations, according to world health officials. At a press conference on Monday, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, said, “There are reports coming in showing vaccinated people have cases of infection, particularly with the delta variation.” “The majority of these infections are asymptomatic or mild.” Hospitalizations, on the other hand, are on the rise in some parts of the world, particularly where vaccination rates are low and the extremely contagious delta form is spreading, according to her. Officials in the United States claim that unvaccinated people are responsible for nearly all recent Covid hospitalizations and deaths. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 75 percent of those who die or are hospitalized after receiving Covid following vaccination are over the age of 65. “The delta variant is sweeping the globe at breakneck speed, causing a new surge in cases and deaths. However, not everyone is suffering in the same way “Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, stated. “We are in the midst of a rising two-track pandemic, in which the haves and have-nots within and between countries are becoming increasingly divergent in regions where vaccination coverage is high.” According to him, the variation is rapidly spreading and infecting unprotected and susceptible persons. Swaminathan cautioned that even those who have been vaccinated can contract Covid and spread it to others, which is why WHO experts have advised people to continue wearing masks and practicing social distance. “However, it dramatically minimizes your chances of serious hospitalization and mortality,” she continued. According to certain research, persons infected with Covid after vaccination produce far less virus than those who have not been vaccinated, lowering the chance of the virus spreading to others. More research is needed to understand the vaccines’ impact on transmissibility, according to WHO officials./nRead More
