IS THE BIONTECH VACCINE EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE DELTA VIRUS?
How effective vaccines against the Delta variant were determined by a study conducted in the UK. The Delta variant of the BioNTech vaccine is said to have 88 percent protection. The single-dose BioNTech vaccine provides limited protection against the Delta variant of Covid-19, officials said.
A study conducted in the UK showed how effective the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is against the Delta variant. Details of the review, which was attended by more than 19,000 people and was one of the largest comprehensive surveys conducted in the UK, were shared with the public. The research, published in the respected and peer-reviewed medical journal The New England Journal of Medicine, revealed the effect of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine against the Delta variant.

IS SINGLE DOSE BIONTECH VACCINE INSUFFICIENT?
Officials said the single-dose Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine provides protection against the Delta variant, but it is very limited. In the study, it was noted that those who received a single dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine provided 30 percent protection against the Delta variant that showed symptoms. This rate is low, and people should definitely have two doses of the vaccine, and officials said that after the second dose, there is a very serious protection against the Delta variant that shows symptoms.

“The single-dose Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine provides limited protection against the Delta variant of Covid-19,” officials said. But after the second dose, protection is provided against the Delta variant, which shows symptoms,” he said. In the study, those who received the second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had 88 percent protection against the Delta variant.
“Among those who have been vaccinated, the number of those infected with the Delta variant is also increasing,” said a US-based media outlet, writing an extensive article about this research and the Delta variant . But in these people, the disease is milder and symptoms such as headache, runny nose and sore throat appear,” he said.
“The combination of mask use and vaccine could provide serious protection against the Delta variant,” the scientists told.
