A review of the latest @UKHSA report
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
1. Booster shots have prevented about 160,000 hospitalizations in England during the Omicron wave
2. The falloff of effectiveness vs Omicron over time is striking. Here VE for age 50+ against mortality
3. Also seen vs hospitalizations by 10+ weeks
4. No difference in vaccine effectiveness between Omicron lineages BA.1 and BA.2 vs symptomatic disease, but steady decline at 10+ weeks
5. The UK has done an exceptional job in getting >90% people of advanced age boosted. The US stands at 65%
6. Unlike the UK, which has laid out its plan for a 4th dose, the US has no plan. Just like what happened for the 3rd dose.
