„we estimate that by the end of August [the delta vatiant] will represent 90% of all SARS-CoV-2 viruses circulating in the European Union“, says @ECDC_EU director Andrea Ammon.
„very likely that the Delta variant will circulate extensively during the summer, particularly among younger individuals that are not targeted for vaccination.“ Increases risk for vulnerable people to be infected, get severely sick or even die if they are not fully vaccinated.
„Until most of the vulnerable individuals are protected, we need to keep the circulation of the Delta virus low by strictly adhering to public health measures, which worked for controlling the impact of other variants.“
„At this stage it becomes crucial that the second vaccination dose is administered within the minimum authorised interval from the first dose, to speed up the rate at which vulnerable individuals become protected“
