Scientists in the United Kingdom warned on Friday (December 10). The BBC quoted the country's health security agency as saying.

According to the BBC, preliminary reviews in the UK have shown that vaccines are less effective in preventing infections in Omicron and Delta cases. However, many are vaccinated against coronary heart disease.

Scientists in the United Kingdom have reviewed data on 571 omicron and several thousand delta variants. Basically, they have done this review to know how effective the vaccine is against the new variant. The review found that the effectiveness of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine decreased dramatically, as did the effectiveness of the two doses of Pfizer. However, the third dose of the vaccine is able to prevent 80 to 75 percent of the symptoms of the corona.
