LONDON, Aug 4 ― Fully vaccinated people in England were one-third as likely to test positive for Covid-19, according to an ongoing survey of the population released today.
They showed one in 160 people infected with coronavirus, with a prevalence rate of 1.21 per cent for unvaccinated respondents and 0.40 per cent for those fully jabbed. However, officials and scientists in Britain have urged caution after the government eased all virus curbs in England on July 19, including the legal requirement to wear masks in certain indoor settings.
Paul Elliott, a professor at Imperial's School of Public Health and director of the survey programme, said the findings “confirm our previous data showing that both doses of a vaccine offer good protection against getting infected”.
