Here's where we stand in the fight against the Delta variant, in the booster shot debate, and how we got here in the first place.
It's more than 60% more transmissible than the original coronavirus. Symptoms from the Delta variant remained largely the same coughing, trouble breathing, suddenly losing your sense of smell or taste.

Delta also appears to hit younger patients harder than the original strain.

But it takes a couple of days for those secondary immune cells to kick in.
