There are several factors involved in the issue of coronavirus infection in vaccinated people starting with the emergence of the highly prevalent variant Omicron.

This variant is very likely to infect people, although not very sick of them, and the spread of Omicron coincided with the holiday holiday season in many countries, reports AP News, reports Telegrafi.

University of Minnesota virus researcher Louis Mansky says people may mistakenly think that anti-COVID vaccines will completely block infection, but vaccines he says are designed primarily to prevent serious illness.

However vaccines are still doing their job, especially for people who have taken booster doses.

Two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine still offer strong protection against serious diseases from Omicron.

Although those initial doses are not very good at blocking Omicron infection, booster doses - especially with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines - increase antibody levels to help prevent infection.

Omicron seems to be reproducing much more efficiently than previous variants. And if infected people have high loads of the virus, they are more likely to transmit it to others, especially unvaccinated people. Vaccinated people who become infected with the virus are more likely to have mild symptoms if they have symptoms, as the vaccines cause multiple defenses in the immune system, making it much harder for Omicron to get through them all.

However, the tips to stay safe have not changed.

Doctors say to put the masks indoors, avoid crowds and get vaccinated and take the booster dose.

Although doses will not always protect you from infection, they will make it more likely that you will stay alive and out of the hospital.
