A cluster of four Covid-19 cases detected after two guests from India attended an open-air wedding near Houston, Texas, has underlined the capacity of the Delta coronavirus variant to cause infections in recipients of multiple vaccines.
Genome sequencing of viruses from the six patients all vaccinated suggests the Delta variant may be able to evade immune responses in patients who have received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or India’s Covaxin, researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, said.

Joseph Petrosino, director of molecular virology, and his colleagues probed six Covid-19 cases in April that occurred soon after a wedding gathering in a large, open-air tent with 92 attendees, for which the guests required to be fully vaccinated.

New Delhi: A new study has claimed that the Delta variant of COVID-19 is eight times less sensitive to coronavirus vaccine antibodies as compared to the original strain that was first reported in China s Wuhan.
The study titled Sars-Cov-2 B.1.617.2 Delta Variant Emergence and Vaccine Breakthrough: Collaborative Study , was conducted on more than 100 healthcare workers (HCWs) at three centres across India including Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (SGRH) in Delhi. The collaborative study from India was conducted along with scientists from the Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease. It, however, is yet to be peer-reviewed.
It stated that the B.1.617.2 Delta variant, first found in India, not only dominates vaccine-breakthrough infections with higher respiratory viral loads compared to non-Delta infections but also generates greater transmission among the fully vaccinated healthcare workers.

Synopsis
The study found that the Delta variant not only dominated vaccine-breakthrough infections with higher viral loads compared with non-Delta infections (Ct value of 16.5 versus 19), but also generated greater transmission among the fully vaccinated HCWs.
Reuters This is an eye-opener to the fully vaccinated people that you cannot lower your guard in the name of vaccination. Dr Chand Wattal, chairperson, Institute of Clinical Microbiology and Immunology, SGRH, said.
