People who have received both doses of a coronavirus vaccine are half as likely to be infected with Covid-19, a new study has found.

Researchers behind the React trial, which has been tracking the disease throughout the pandemic, said that even if double-jabbed people come into contact with someone who has Covid-19, only one in 25 (3.84%) will go on to catch it themselves.
