www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/28...Now a study has revealed that while vaccination against Covid is crucial to preventing severe disease and death, even fully jabbed individuals catch the virus – and pass it on.
Writing in the journal the Lancet, researchers from a number of institutions including Imperial College London and the UK Health Security Agency (HSA) report how they analysed data from 204 household contacts of 138 people infected with the Delta variant.
Of these contacts, who were recruited within five days of their household member showing symptoms and were tested daily for 14 days, 53 went on to become infected, 31 of whom were fully vaccinated and 15 were unvaccinated.
The results suggest even those who are fully vaccinated have a sizeable risk of becoming infected, with an analysis revealing a fully vaccinated contact has about a 25% chance of catching the virus from an infected household member while an unvaccinated contact has around a 38% chance of becoming infected. However, the figures do not shed light on the severity of illness while the team cautions these figures fall within a range of possible values, meaning the exact size of the difference is unclear.
Besmette huisgenoten blijven een gevaarlijke besmettingsbron en dan biedt vaccinatie weinig bescherming. Iets waar de regering wat mee kan als het gaat om het tegengaan van verspreiding. Huishoudens in isolatie bij een besmetting?
