“#Delta variant outbreak in Israel infecting vaccinated adults<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

An outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in Israel has spread to vaccinated people \u2014 with about half of the adults infected fully inoculated with the Pfizer shot, a health official said.<\/p>\n

Ran Balicer, who heads a COVID-19 government advisory committee, said that about 90% of new infections in the country were likely caused by the Delta variant, a highly-contagious strain that first emerged in India, the Wall Street Journal reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entrance of the Delta variant has changed the transmission dynamics,\u201d Balicer said.<\/p>\n

Children under the age of 16 \u2014 the majority of whom had not received the vaccine \u2013were responsible for about half of the new cases, Balicer said.<\/p>\n

But about half of adults infected in the outbreak were considered fully-vaccinated \u2014 meaning that it had been at least two weeks since they received their final dose of the Pfizer shot, he said.<\/p>\n

Balicer added that the so-called breakthrough cases were expected because the Pfizer is highly-effective but not 100% protective against the virus.<\/p>\n

The spread of the Delta variant comes as daily cases rose to 200 on Thursday from around 10 a day for most of June, the Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\n

Though the outbreak is small by global standards, it has prompted the government to order indoor mask mandates, the news<\/a>paper reported.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
