Unfortunately in the very short term vaccines won't help at all. Here's why:
You only get full immunity from the Pfizer or Moderna shots about two weeks after your second shot, so for those shots you aren't protected until you are five or six week out from your first shot.
The J&J vaccine apparently gives full effect three weeks after the shot.
I'd just say that at the rate this thing is going, and how much easier the Delta strain spreads, that three weeks is a very long time.
From the data there is no indication that there is very much delta spreading in Okanogan County, but that is certain to change. And given the reporting delays it might already be actively spreading here we just aren't seeing it yet.
That and the fact that the Delta variant seems to be making younger people sicker much faster than earlier versions should be sobering to us all.
