The Covid-19 vaccine was supposed to bring life back to normal. Then came the Delta variant.
Real-world data collection continues, but it’s clear that the vaccines do offer significant protection against becoming infected by Delta. They offer even greater protection against severe illness: Among states that are reporting breakthrough cases of Covid-19, fully vaccinated people made up no more than 5% of overall hospitalizations.
Nonetheless, doctors and public health experts are now urging even the fully vaccinated to resume mask wearing and some social distancing measures. What those measures should look like may vary from person to person, depending on personal circumstances and community rates of vaccination and transmission.
Does that mean no more air travel? No indoor restaurant dining? According to experts, it’s not quite so simple.
What day-to-day precautions should fully vaccinated individuals take, considering the risks posed by the Delta variant?
