The difference between high-vaccinated areas, especially in the northeastern United States, and low-lying areas, including the southern states of the country, is somehow obvious.
For example, in Burlington, Vermont area, nearly 74% of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine, with only 0.5 new cases per 100,000 population, according to data from COVID ActNow, an independent organization that treats infections.

These are all sources of concern for unknown people.
According to official English data, two weeks after the second dose, the Pfizer-Bioendech vaccine is 88% effective against the symptomatic form of COVID-19 caused by delta variation.
A study in the UK concluded that the Pfizer-Bioendech vaccine was a single dose four weeks after the first dose of AstraZeneca-Oxford A much stronger immune response than two doses of AstraZeneca.
