Delta Variant Information from DOH

October 1, 2021

The delta variant of the COVID-19 virus has received attention recently, as cases attributed to delta have dramatically increased. Many of us have questions about how this and other variants may affect our messaging around COVID-19 safety practices and vaccine efficacy.  

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has produced a blog about the delta variant, which we have linked below. A Spanish version of the blog is also linked. 

English blog: COVID-19 Variants: Staying Protected for the Long Haul | by Washington State Department of Health | Public Health Connection | Aug, 2021 | Medium 

Spanish blog: Las variantes del COVID-19: Cómo mantenerse protegido a largo plazo | by Washington State Department of Health | BienestarWA | Aug, 2021 | Medium 

If additional translations of this blog would help you or the community you serve, please reach out to a DH team member. We are happy to assist with translations. If you have outstanding questions regarding COVID-19 variants, please consult the Variants folder, found in the Messaging & Assets folder on Dropbox and linked below.

As always, please reach out with additional questions or concerns regarding the delta variant. Thank you for your ongoing patience and ambition in this work as information continues to develop.
