The epidemiologist points out that, although anti-Covid vaccines show signs of low efficacy against Delta, they are still effective in preventing a severe form of the disease and preventing death, according to Hotnews.ro.
“The good news is that so far it is still working against the Delta variant. There may come a time when we will have a constellation of mutations in which vaccines will lose their effectiveness, which is why we want to prevent infections. Again, vaccines are extremely powerful, but we need to … take steps to prevent them, “said Maria Van Kerkhove, who stressed that people should get both doses of the vaccine and not stop at the first dose.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that it is setting up a technology transfer center for the production of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in South Africa, which could begin manufacturing doses in 9-12 months.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the announcement with a view to increasing access to vaccines across the African continent, where cases and deaths have risen by almost 40% in the past week.
