The Greek National Vaccination Committee urged for the immediate vaccination of anyone who is yet to consider their inoculation, against the onset of coronavirus’ Delta variant, its chair Maria Theodoridou said on Monday during a regular coronavirus pandemic briefing, ANA reports.
The Delta strain will soon be the dominant variant, added Theodoridou, it will be 90 pct more transmissible, and will affect mainly unvaccinated people, including children.
Inoculating one’s self with both doses of either Pfizer’s or AstraZeneca’s vaccine provides 96 pct and 92 pct protection from Delta, respectively, she underlined. Effective protection from Delta goes up to 30 pct with only one dose of a vaccine, therefore it is imperative that people do not neglect to get the second and final dose, she noted.
