35 percent of UK Delta hospitalisations fully vaccinated

Public health experts warn that ‘vaccines do not eliminate all risk’ amid early signs jabs may not stop Delta transmission.

Hundreds of fully vaccinated people in England have been hospitalised with the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant, scientists said on Friday. Some 34.9 percent of people hospitalised in England since July 19 with the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant had received both doses of a vaccine, Public Health England (PHE) said in its latest COVID-19 update. PHE also warned there were early signs that people who have been inoculated may be able to transmit the Delta strain as easily as those who have not received any jabs.
