How the COVID vaccine works against variations in Delta | Coronavirus News Plague

The Delta type of coronavirus is a concern because lab tests have shown that it is more contagious and resistant to vaccines compared to other COVID-19 strains.

However, there is evidence that existing jabs still have the strength to resist after two tests.

Here’s what you need to know:

A British study published in The Lancet medical journal in early June saw an increase in antibodies to people with immunizations in Delta, Alpha (first known in Britain) and Beta (first known in South Africa).

It found that antibody groups in individuals with Pfizer-BioNTech Doses were shot six times before Delta differences than the presence of the original COVID-19 virus when the vaccine was developed.

Alpha and Beta strains also triggered fewer responses, while fewer Alpha antibodies and 4.9 lower Beta.

A French study from the Pasteur Institute confirmed that the antibodies of antibodies produced by Pfizer-BioNTech jab are not enough three to five times against the Delta versus Alpha type.

So is the vaccine still working?

Although they represent an important indicator, the levels of antibodies tested in the lab are not sufficient to determine the effectiveness of the vaccine. In particular, they do not consider a second immune response in the form of killer T cells – which target cells that are already infected and not the virus itself.

As a result, real-time monitoring is important in vaccinating vaccines – and preliminary results are encouraging.

According to a report published Monday by Public Health England, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and AstraZeneca jabs are effective in preventing hospitalization in terms of Delta diversity as is the case with the Alpha variety.

Two Pfizer-BioNTech jab drugs block 96 percent of hospitals because of Delta, while the AstraZeneca vaccine protects 92%, according to a study of 14,000 people.

Most of the previous data released by British health officials at the end of May will be equally valid for a very small number of diseases.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 88% effective against COVID-19 indication caused by Delta transformation two weeks after the second dose, while jab is 93% effective in Alpha-induced cases.

AstraZeneca shows a 60% improvement in cases caused by Delta change and 66% in Alpha case.

Scottish officials published the same Monday in The Lancet.

Meanwhile, sponsors of the Sputnik V jab wrote Tuesday that their vaccine was “the most effective against various Delta species … more than any other vaccine that has spread the effects of the disease so far”. The results of the Gamaleya Center, a Russian research agency, were sent to be published in a peer-reviewed international newspaper.

Is one shot enough?

Of the available vaccines, only Johnson & Johnson is required to be effective – not two. So far, there is not enough information to find out how it works against the Delta change.

As for other jabs, lab and real tests show that a single dose of each vaccine only protects against Delta species.

“After a single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech, 79 percent had a solution against the original problem, but this was enough … 32 percent of B.1.617.2 [Delta], ”Said the study from the lab.

The Pasteur Institute found that one component of AstraZeneca would “be useless” against the Delta reform.

Much from the British government confirms what is happening in the real world: both vaccines were 33% effective in counteracting the Delta-induced symptoms three weeks after the first dose compared to about 50% against the Alpha type.

In the UK – where the Delta divergence now accounts for 96% of new cases – this prompted the government on Monday to reduce the gestational age range from 12 weeks to eight people over the age of 40.

In France, the waiting period has been reduced to three to five weeks at the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.

Pfizer-BioNTech Jab however provides the highest level of protection (94%) in the hospital due to the Delta variety after a single dose.

So what is the best way to deal with Delta’s problems?

Scientists agree that the best defense against Delta diversity is to obtain a complete two-drug vaccine.

French top scientist Jean-François Delfraissy says creating a “vaccinated population” will help make Delta diversity more widespread.

A U.S. study since June 10 demonstrates the need for a vaccine to keep the diversity list growing.

“Increasing the number of people who are vaccinated and currently vaccinated is an important way to reduce the emergence of new strains and address the COVID-19 epidemic,” he says.

Antoine Flahault, who heads the University of Geneva’s Institute of Global Health, insists it is still important to monitor population growth, share information on disease, and review prevention if necessary to “reduce the spread of viruses”.

As the virus moves more and more, he says, the opportunity has the opportunity to mutate and create new species.
