CBC: Vaccine protection has fallen to 14.9 per cent — from nearly 90 per cent A MONTH AGO — for people who have received TWO DOSES

 

Protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines against infection by the novel coronavirus has waned dramatically since the highly infectious Omicron variant started spreading across Ontario, according to data from the province's Science Advisory Table.

The data shows that while having two doses does protect against severe illness among those who contract the virus, its ability to prevent infection altogether is plummeting, said Dr. Peter Jüni, the group's scientific director.

Vaccine protection has fallen to 14.9 per cent — from nearly 90 per cent a month ago — for people who have received two doses, according to the data. 

"Vaccine protection against infection is melting like snow under the sun," Jüni said in an interview on CBC News Network.  "Omicron is evading the immune system.

"In reality, there is no way — if it comes to infection — to distinguish anymore between a person who is not vaccinated and a person who has received two doses."
