WHO has warned that the Delta variant has the potential to be more deadly

“This Delta variant is faster, more capable, it will attack the most vulnerable more effectively than the previous ones and if there are vulnerable people without vaccinating, they are more at risk”, the UN News site reported.

He added that “all of these variants are fatal, but this one has more potential because it is more effective in transmission and will eventually find people who will become seriously ill, be hospitalized and may die. We can protect these vulnerable people now. “

WHO has recognized that no country has “excess” vaccines, but clarified that solidarity is to donate them, not when they are in surplus, but after health workers, the elderly and the population at risk were vaccinated.

The agency’s senior adviser, Bruce Aylward, said “If we wait for them to save, they’ll never donate.”

The epidemiologist leading the response to the coronavirus, María Van Kherkove, insisted that vaccines remain effective against all variants, but stressed that to achieve maximum protection it is necessary to receive the full immunization schedule.

“So far vaccines have been very effective, but there can be a constellation of mutations that cause them to lose their effectiveness.”He said, after which he insisted that the most important thing is to stop the transmission of the virus.
