Domestic. As expected, the coronavirus is now mutating in order to spread even among vaccinated people. Experts are already flagging for a third-dose vaccine against the delta variant, but then more may come.

More and more countries require you to be “fully vaccinated” in order to travel. And that could mean a whole bunch of syringes in the future.
Magnus Gisslén, professor of infectious diseases at the University of Gothenburg and chief physician at the infection clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, tells Ekot that a third dose may be on the way soon.
– We will certainly see further variants in the future that the vaccine actually has a significantly worse effect on. We will have to live with this infection and see cases where people come who become very seriously ill, but we will probably not see a situation that we have seen these one and a half years, he says.
They vaccines available today provide only some protection against the delta variant, and at just one dose the protection is very weak.
Malta was yesterday the first EU country to completely close its borders to people who are not “fully vaccinated” . The country closed the border early in 2020 and was basically free from covid-19 until the summer of 2020, when politicians suddenly opened it and the country was hit by a severe spread of infection with many dead. According to the local government, the decision to let the virus into the country was due to pressure from the tourism industry and not, as some suspect, from the pharmaceutical industry.
