Data up to April 21
Extremely low breakthrough infection rate
India data, 0.02% to 0.04% of vaccinated people falling ill
United States rates, 0.008 %
One dose of COVID-19 vaccine can cut household transmission by up to half

Being vaccinated significantly reduces risk of infection, hospitalisation, death
Reduced risk of developing symptomatic infection, 4 weeks after one dose of either vaccine, 60 to 65%
Those who do become infected 3 weeks after receiving one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or AstraZeneca vaccine
Were between 38% and 49% less likely to pass the virus on to their household contacts
Similar results expected, shared accommodations, prisons
Based on
57,000 contacts from 24,000 households
Compared with 1 million contacts of unvaccinated cases
Health and Social Care Secretary, Matt Hancock
comprehensive real-world data showing vaccines cut transmission
Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE
even if you have been vaccinated, it is really important that you continue to act like you have the virus, practise good hand hygiene and follow social distancing guidance.

Israel, 5 million people fully vaccinated
62 recorded cases of myocarditis
Mostly after second dose
Most in men under 30
Now cases in US military
Defense Department, tracking 14 cases myocarditis
Temporal association
2,713,640 COVID-19 vaccines, myocarditis in 0.000516%
1 in 193,831
Developed after receiving either Pfizer or Moderna
One patient, tested positive for COVID-19 three months ago
Then developed myocarditis after first dose of vaccine
Remaining 13 patients developed myocarditis after their second vaccine doses
Moderna, 11 cases
Pfizer, 3 cases
All developed chest pain 12 to 96 hours after vaccination.
Steve Beynon, 30, developed myocarditis after second dose of Moderna
Hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in February
Nearly three days in the ICU
Has since performed his National Guard duties
Marcus Weisgerber, 39, developed myocarditis after his second Pfizer shot
Two days in the hospital
https://vaers.hhs.gov
45 reports of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccines
Majority of cases occurred after the second dose
Pfizer, 19 cases reported after the Pfizer vaccine and 26 after the
Moderna, 26 cases
62%, in men, mostly 20 to 45
Vigorous exercise after vaccination?
Vaccine choice, may be:
Younger women, better with Pfizer (due to very small risk of TTS with Janssen, as recommended by FDA)
Younger men, better with Janssen (due to possible links with myocarditis in younger men in Israel and US military)
