Re:Omicron variant more resistant to vaccine but causes less... by dragontamer on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @02:21PM (#29556093)
The vaccines are 90% effective against the original strain and Alpha to transmission / infection.

Efficacy dropped to 60% vs Delta, and drops again to 30% vs Omicron. Boosters seem to rise back up to 90% vs Delta and 75% vs Omicron.

That's why so many people are talking about boosters: it has a measurable impact on transmission for Omicron (and Delta).
