I see its based on 42 cases and, Those who died in the UK after being fully vaccinated were likely to have been elderly and have suffered complications. I believe this has been the case in the US too, regarding deaths among the fully vaccinated.
Clearly youre significantly better off if youve been fully vaccinated but if youre immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable youd definitely be wise to continue to take additional precautions.
