Even if you were vaccinated, you can still transmit the virus, doctor warns.

Early indications from analysis carried out by Discovery Health show that vaccinations not only help in significantly reducing the “attack rate” of the coronavirus, but they also dramatically cut hospital admissions and deaths. However, this only appears to happen at least two weeks after the administration of the first does of the Pfizer vaccine, according to Discovery Health chief executive Dr Ryan Noach.

In a presentation outlining Discovery’s analysis, Noach said 545 members contracted Covid within 14 days of vaccinations, at a rate similar to that of the unvaccinated population. Of these, 151 were admitted to hospital and nine died.However, just 144 contracted Covid more than 15 days after getting the jab and of those, just 19 were admitted to hospital – with no deaths resulting.

His warning was echoed by Professor Alex van den Heever from the Wits University School of Governance. He said people still needed to be careful about how they behave because even if you were vaccinated you can become part of the wave of transmission.
