It seems there is going to be a need for a booster to counter the changes in the spike protein although that once again delays vaccinating the rest of the world as the wealthy nations are going to insist on getting the booster first.
The Lambda variant is also looking like a concern (first spotted in Peru) and could bring the efficacy down even further than the Delta.
It's excellent that hospitalisations are remaining low. Looks like it's dropped from 98% to 93% for hospitalisations and severe infection. We don't want a few more drops like that though.

You've mentioned the Lambda variant a couple of times Stokie. Got any links / "idiots guide" to what it is about?

First spotted in Peru the tail end of last year and it seems to be outcompeting the delta variant which would indicate it's more transmissible than the delta variant. It's got some weird mutations apparently:
