We definitely have an impact here in the US too, and many officials are worried. But they don't have enough information yet to know how worried to be, or not to be. They seem to be mostly concerned about the unvaccinated people, but there are cases of various COVID-19 variants even among fully vaccinated people.
I've assumed all along that we will likely need to receive booster shots for variants, and other reasons, for the next few years. Modena claims their vaccine is effective against the Delta variant. Not sure about Pfizer or J&J, I haven't heard anything from them. But regardless of variants, we will likely still need boosters since the vaccine will likely lose effectiveness after a certain period of time, and if we don't reach a certain level of vaccination, then COVID-19 can resurge. I don't think this is going away anytime soon. Too many people are not vaccinated, for whatever reason.
