DHS Tracking New COVID-19 Variant of Concern
The Delta variant was previously classified as a variant of interest but has since been raised to a variant of concern. The CDC has established criteria for identifying variants that may be more worrisome than others. Variants are most commonly raised to variants of concern if they show evidence of being more contagious, causing more severe illness, or are more difficult to treat using known therapies. Fortunately, the COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. have shown to still provide some protection against the Delta variant.
Reminder: You Need Two Doses to be Fully Protected
Make sure you know when and where to go for your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Think you might miss your second dose appointment? Let your vaccine provider know you need to reschedule your appointment and schedule your second dose as soon as you can. Visit COVID-19 Vaccine webpage for more on what to expect before, during, and after you get your COVID-19 vaccine.
