Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Reduces Transmission After One Dose, UK Study Shows
@COVID19Up: A single dose of Pfizer and BioNtech’s COVID-19 vaccine cuts the number of asymptomatic infections and could significantly reduce the risk of transmission of the virus, results of a UK study found on Friday.
After separating the test results from unvaccinated and vaccinated staff, Jones’ team found that 0.80% tests from unvaccinated healthcare workers were positive.
This compared with 0.37% of tests from staff less than 12 days post-vaccination—when the vaccine’s protective effect is not yet fully established—and 0.20% of tests from staff at 12 days or more post-vaccination.
The study and its results have yet to be independently peer-reviewed by other scientists, but were published online as a preprint on Friday. SOURCE | TIP
