New Delhi: People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can still easily continue infection in household settings.
It has been confirmed by research conducted in the UK.
This study, which was published in an infectious disease Lancet, saw the level of transmission between 621 people with a lightweight Covid-19 infection.
Analysis found that 25% of vaccinated household contacts were tested positively for Covid-19 compared to 38% of which were not vaccinated.
Professor Ajit Lalvani from London Imperial College, England, who tore learned, said the vaccine was very important to control the pandemic because they were very effective in preventing serious diseases and deaths from Covid-19.
However, research findings show that vaccination is not enough to prevent people from being infected with the Delta variant and spread it in household settings.
“The ongoing transmission is seen between vaccinated people making it important for people who are not vaccinated to get shots to protect themselves from obtaining infection and severe Covid-19, especially because more people will spend time in the near future during the month -The winter months.
We found that the vulnerability to infection increased in a few months after the second vaccine dose, so that those who qualified for booster shots must immediately get it, “Lalvani said.
While people who are vaccinated cleaning infections, the burden of the peak viral among them is similar to people who are not vaccinated, which can explain why they can still easily continue the virus in household settings.
Dr.
Anika Sitanayagam, the author of co-leads from this study, said understanding the extent to which people who were vaccinated could continue the Delta variant to others was the priority of public health.
“By carrying out repeated sampling of contacts, we find that vaccinated people can continue infection in the household, including for vaccinated members.
Public health and sustainable social steps to curb transmissions, such as wearing masks, social distance And testing, remains important even in vaccinated individuals, “Santayagam added.
