Current COVID-19 vaccines are effective enough in preventing acute disease. No need to enter third doses now, according to a report published Monday by the medical magazine The Lancet.
The Lancet report showed that even with the threat of Delta, “an increased number of doses for the general population is not appropriate at this stage of the pandemic«.
The authors noted that COVID-19 vaccines are effective in preventing severe disease – including Delta infection. However, they are not effective enough to guarantee that there will be no symptoms.

«The studies currently available do not provide reliable evidence that protection against acute disease is declining, and this is the purpose of vaccination »- said the author of the report Ana-Maria Henao-Restrepo from WHO.
“If vaccines are distributed where they can do the most good, they will inhibit the further evolution of variants and hasten the end of the pandemic,” she noted.
A study published by The Lancet shows that the current variants of the coronavirus have not developed enough to become immune to the immune response organisms of people vaccinated with available vaccines.
Some countries have started offering a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine amid the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus, and Israel has announced that begins logistical preparations for the administration of the fourth dose. For this reason, the World Health Organization (WHO) has called for such action to be refrained at least until the end of this year. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus argued that this could exacerbate vaccine shortages in poorer countries, where millions of people still haven’t received a single dose.
