The Indian variant appears to be predominantly affecting people who are not yet fully vaccinated, figures show. Of those who have attended A&E with the strain, more than two in three were completely unvaccinated. Meanwhile, only 42 people with the variant, also known as the Delta strain, have required an overnight stay in hospital two weeks or more after receiving their second jab. It said that as of June 7, there have been 42 deaths in England of people who were confirmed as having the Indian variant. And two thirds of the 1,234 people who attended A&E in England between February 1 and June 7 with the Indian variant were unvaccinated.
