Double vaccination makes you 3 times less likely to get Covid-19: Study
According a latest UK study, people who have received both doses of their coronavirus vaccine are three times less likely to get infected with Covid-19.
The Real-time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT-1) study reported that infections in England have increased four-fold from 0.15 per cent to 0.63 per cent since the last REACT-1 report, which covered the period from May 20 to June 7.
“Our vaccination rollout is building a wall of defence that means we can carefully ease restrictions and get back to the things we love, but we need to be cautious as we learn to live with this virus,” said UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
“This report shows the importance of taking personal responsibility by self-isolating if you are contact traced, getting tested if you have symptoms and wearing face coverings where appropriate. I urge anyone who has yet to receive a vaccine to get jabbed and take up both doses the vaccines are safe and they are working,” he said.
