Israel says Pfizer vaccine just 64% effective in real world as delta variant continues to spread rapidly

Russia and Indonesia set new one-day record death tolls and Indonesia sources oxygen from Singapore.

The Israeli health ministry said it now believes the vaccine is just 64% effective at preventing symptomatic infections, which compares with the efficacy rate of about 95% in clinical trials back in 2020, it said in a statement posted on Twitter. The vaccine remains roughly 93% effective at preventing hospitalizations and death, the ministry said. Experts have repeatedly warned of the need to vaccinate at least 70% of the world’s population to prevent new variants emerging that may prove resistant to the existing vaccines.
