Study: Corona vaccine reduces family transmission by half

A study revealed that a single dose of the Coronavirus vaccine can reduce the risk of HIV infection in the household within the home by half.

The study, conducted by the Public Health Authority in England, concluded that those who received a first dose of the "Pfizer" or "AstraZeneca" vaccine, and were infected after three weeks, were at least 38 percent less likely to transmit the virus to others. And 49 percent compared to people who haven't had the vaccine yet.

British Health Secretary Matt Hancock described the results of the study as "great news" and urged everyone "to get their vaccinations at the right time."

The Public Health Authority in England said in a statement that the study monitored the availability of protection from Covid, about 14 days after receiving the vaccine, at similar levels, regardless of the ages of cases or contacts.

She added that this protection was one of the most notable reduction in risks for a person who received the vaccine and had an infection and showed symptoms in the first place, ranging from 60% to 65%, after four weeks of receiving a single dose of either vaccine.
