( Breakthrough infection is the new Covid cases among the fully vaccinated persons.)
A total of 10,262 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections had been reported from 46 U.S. states and territories as of April 30, 2021.
As of April 30, 2021, approximately 101 million persons in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Breakthrough infection as reported by CDC
So the breakthrough infection rate as recorded in US is 1 in 10,000. ( Vaccines used in US have the efficacy rate of 90-95%.)
( Covaxin Efficacy rate is 77.8% as accepted by Indian Government. )
…
How do a 90% effective Vaccine ( failure chance 5-10%) confers a protection to the tune of 99.99% ?
Here comes the role of Covid appropriate behavior. If you can maintain strict Covid Appropriate Behavior you can add another 30% efficacy to that of your vaccine.
1️⃣ Continue CAB ( Covid Appropriate Behavior) even after Full Vaccination.
But more important is
2️⃣ Encourage your neighbors and acquaintances ( domestic servants and vendors) to get vaccinated. This will increase the herd immunity in your community add efficacy to your vaccine.
Together only, we can defeat this Virus.
