(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 24 - People who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus could still transmit it to those who have not yet received the drug, which is why it is important to continue to follow the rules of social distancing.
This is the warning of Professor Jonathan Van Tam, a consultant to the British government and British Deputy Head of Health.
In Great Britain, 5.8 million people have received the first of two doses of the vaccine required, 478,248 yesterday alone, a record number since the program began on 8 December.
However, writes the professor in an article published in the Sunday Telegraph, "even if you had both, you could transmit Covid-19 to someone else".
The vaccine "can prevent you from becoming seriously ill," Van-Tam explains, "but we still don't know if it prevents contagion."
