AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines effective against Delta variant

  • The study found that the effectiveness of BNT162b2 [Pfizer-BioNTech] and ChAd0x1 [Oxford-AstraZeneca] against any infections (new PCR positives) and infections with symptoms or high viral burden is reduced with the Delta variant
  • Two doses of either vaccine still provided at least the same level of protection as having had COVID-19 before through natural infection; people who had been vaccinated after already being infected with COVID-19 had even more protection than vaccinated individuals who had not had COVID-19 before
