According to the CDC, the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the U.S. are effective and offer protection against most variants, including the Delta variant.
Similarly, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the chief scientist for the World Health Organization (WHO), said on a recent “Science in 5” podcast episode that “all of the WHO emergency use listed vaccines do protect against developing severe disease, hospitalization and death due to the Delta variant.”
Dr. Swaminathan says that being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 offers the most protection against the virus and its variants.
“There are studies now from countries where there is a predominance of the Delta variant to show that people who ve been vaccinated are much less likely to end up in the hospital,” said Swaminathan. “You need the full course of vaccination in order to give you that full immunity to protect you against the Delta variant.”
