In fact, if the chance of vaccinated people being infected in the Delta is currently about half that of non-vaccinated people, as evidenced by various studies, the booster dose lowers this relative chance to 5%.

That is, a third dose of "Pfizer" vaccine returns the immune protection to a level of about 95% - similar to the original protection of a "fresh" vaccine that was observed against a less contagious alpha strain.

Future studies will be able to determine the long-term efficacy of a third dose of the vaccine against Delta and against future variants.
