Vaccines work well in reducing transmission of coronavirus: Health Institute

NL Times  

The coronavirus vaccines are very effective in reducing the transmission of the coornavirus, scientists at public health institute RIVM discovered in a study that will be published on Thursday, NOS reports. Fully vaccinated people who became infected with the virus infected 11 percent of their housemates. Adjusted for age, vaccination status of the housemates, and the month of the year, the scientists concluded that the chance of being infected by a fully vaccinated person within a household is 71 percent smaller than by an unvaccinated person. After partial vaccination, infected people still transmitted the virus to 29 percent of their housemates.
