Completed Vaccination Course Prevents Severe COVID-19 even when Infected with the Delta Variant

The completed vaccination course, with any of the EU-approved vaccines, provides a high level of protection against the severe course of the disease and death caused by SARS-CoV-2, including infection with the Delta variant of the virus. This was announced by the Bulgarian Ministry of Health.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) recommend that people who have no contraindications for vaccination but have not yet been vaccinated start and complete a vaccination course against COVID-19.

The highest level of protection provided by the vaccine is reached after a sufficient time (seven to fourteen days) has elapsed from the day the last dose of vaccine was given.

Vaccination protects those who are most at risk of severe disease and hospitalization by reducing the spread of the virus and preventing the emergence of new "disturbing" variants of the virus.

Vaccines remain the best way to limit the increase in the number of cases of severe disease and death.
