Unvaccinated people are three times more likely to contract Corona than fully vaccinated people, according to a study. In the study by researchers at Imperial College London published Wednesday (Aug. 4), 1.2 percent of 100,000 subjects in England tested positive for the virus, compared with only 0.4 among the fully vaccinated.
“These results confirm our previous data and show that full vaccination provides good protection against infection,” lead study author Paul Elliot said, according to a news release. Because no vaccine is 100 percent effective, he said, there is still some risk of infection even for those who have been vaccinated. The researchers also see evidence that vaccinated infected people are less likely to infect others because their viral loads may be lower. 100 percent of the samples analyzed in the study were cases of the delta variant, which is now widespread in the UK.
