New Delhi: Fighting against the ‘Delta’ variant of Coronavirus requires a vaccine, plus infection prevention and control strategies, even in the population with high inoculation, new research findings have revealed.
Studies conducted in two Delhi Hospital found that even though vaccination prevented the severity of viral attacks, there was a case of breakthrough infection, and that there was also a possible risk of subsequent transmission for potentially vulnerable people.
This study was conducted by researchers from the Consortium Insacog, CSIR and the National Center for Disease Control.
The researchers analyzed data on 113 breakthrough infections among health workers by “building the possibility of transmission networks from the epidemiological genome order data and virus using the computational approach suite”.
Among the known cases we identify high probabilities that doubled individuals transmitted SARS-COV-2, and potential cases of viral transmission between individuals who have received two vaccine doses, pre-print study words.
This study highlights the need for ongoing infection control measures even in a highly vaccinated population.
Research findings assume significance due to increasing satisfaction is the arrangement among people, especially in those who are fully vaccinated.
It is said that even though the vaccine remains effective against severe diseases, a breakthrough infection “is reality”.
Experts highlight the need for infection control measures even in a highly vaccinated population and use masks by individuals.
