If you have modern, here's how your antibodies meet the delta variant
Although the vaccine is always effective, the antibody response is particularly weakened.
While COVID delta variant continues to spread rapidly around the world, people wonder what type of protection their vaccine gives them. This new strain of the virus comes withNew symptoms andspreads more easily That the previous variants, which concerns some people concerned are worried, they could be in danger despite their immunization status. Now, new research is a clearer picture. When Moderna has recently been tested against the Delta variant, it showed promising results - but the antibody response to the variant was lower than that against the original virus.

Recently,Scott Gottlieb, MD, former US Commissioner and Drugs (FDA), told CBS News'Face the nation that the Delta variant is "40 to 60% more efficient,contagious"Alpha variant, which resulted in a point in cases across the country at the beginning of 2021.

The vaccine manufacturers are blurring make sure their shots provide sufficient protection for recipients.
On June 29, Moderna released a statement announcing that its Covid vaccine showedPromising results against the delta variant. However, the company noted a decrease in the antibody response from the antibody response to the original strain of the virus. When the vaccine combat the Delta variant, it showed a reduction of 2.1 times the antibody response.
According to Moderna, the Covid vaccine has prompted an antibody response against all the variants of the company tested - although none of the responses were as strong as it was against the original virus. Surprisingly, the vaccine was more effective for producing antibodies against the delta variant than the beta variant identified in South Africa. When against the beta variant, the vaccine saw a reduction of six to eight times antibodies.

Pfizer has also studied how his vaccine meets the Delta variant. Reuters reported that studies showed that, similar to modern, theThe Pfizer vaccine was effective When protecting the delta variant, but the antibody response was not as robust as it in response to the original virus. A 22 May of Public Health of England's Public Health concluded that the Pfizer vaccine is greater than 90%Effective to prevent hospitalization of the delta variant.
Johnson & Johnson has not done a study yet on how his vaccine works against the Delta variant. However, the experts suggested those who received Johnson & JohnsonConsider getting a boost From Pfizer or Moderna to help strengthen protection when the new strain continues to circulate.
