WILLEMSTAD - Fully vaccinated Curaçaoans are protected for about 80% against the Delta variant of the coronavirus. Those who have only had 1 shot are protected for about 30% against that new variant. This was announced by epidemiologist Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth during the evening news of TeleCuraçao.
According to Dr. Gerstenbluth, current infections with the Delta variant in England and Missouri in the US should be closely monitored. The vaccination rate in England is high and that of the American state is very low and “we can learn a lot from that,” according to Gerstenbluth.
