Considering that the Pfizer vaccine is 88% effective against that strain, sounds about right...
Quote:
The BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine was 88 percent effective against symptomatic disease from the Indian variant two weeks after the second dose, while the Oxford/AstraZeneca was 60 percent effective.
These results suggest a slight drop in efficacy compared with the U.K. variant, where the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine is 93 percent effective after two doses and the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab is 66 percent effective.

This is why I will still be social distancing/wearing a mask in shops, even though I have had two jabs - the vaccine reduces the risk, not eliminates it.
