Fully vaccinated people are half as likely to catch Covid-19 than those who are unvaccinated, a ... [+] study found. gettyKey FactsThree times as many unvaccinated people tested positive for Covid-19 than those who had not been vaccinated, the REACT study found, with all positive samples analyzed indicating an infection with the delta Covid-19 variant. That’s the chance of being infected with Covid-19 if you’re in contact with an infected individual and fully vaccinated, the researchers found. What We Don’t KnowThe findings from this study suggest lower viral loads in the fully vaccinated people who are infected, which correspond with lower chances of passing the virus on to others. A lower chance does not mean zero chance, and the CDC recommends even the fully vaccinated to wear masks in certain places.
