CheckMate is a weekly newsletter from RMIT FactLab which recaps the latest in the world of fact checking and misinformation, drawing on the work of FactLab and its sister organisation, RMIT ABC Fact Check. There were also fewer antibodies present in the lungs after vaccination than after infection, Professor van Zelm said, explaining that, since the vaccines were not administered via the lungs, the immune response was "not really generated at the site where it's needed". As for whether COVID-19 vaccines are effective, Dr Griffin said that the fact they don't prevent infection 100 per cent of the time "shouldn't be seen as a failure". However, the study's co-author, Danyu Lin, told FactLab that the protection afforded by a previous Delta infection was actually "higher among vaccinated children" than among unvaccinated children during the first three months. And when it came to the more prevalent Omicron variant, Professor Lin said the protection conferred by previous infection "was much higher among vaccinated children than among unvaccinated children".
