Covid in the United States: more than 75% of Omicron cases have been detected in vaccinated people
The effectiveness of vaccines has been controversial in recent weeks, with the sudden outbreak of the Omicron variant which affects many fully vaccinated people. In the United States, the CDC (Center For Disease Control) reports that more than 75% of Omicron cases detected in the country have been detected in people vaccinated
Is vaccination the panacea? This question arises in the midst of a health crisis and at a time when several countries in the West continue to record an extremely high rate of contamination despite a high rate of vaccination among their populations.
If in the United States, the CDC (Center For Disease) is pleased that 71.4% of the population has taken at least one dose of the vaccine and that 60.4% of the population has been fully vaccinated, the vaccine seems however, show its limits in the face of the new variant, Omicron.
At least that is what reveals a CDC study relayed by the American media, US Today . Indeed, according to this source, more than 75% of cases of Omicron detected in the United States were detected in vaccinated people. However, the study specifies that the developed forms remain very light.
The situation is all the more difficult for the health authorities as the same observation is made in Great Britain. Indeed, according to the British media, The Independent , 12 of the 22 cases of Omicron detected in the country have also been detected in fully vaccinated people.
