Four charts about why boosters can't do everything on their own.
1. There is a massive difference in booster uptake between the most and least deprived areas. And also a massive difference in those entirely unvaccinated.
What is plan to reach them? 1/4

2. There are big regional variations. London has the highest unvaccinated and least boosted population by far. It is also where epicentre of Omicron currently sits. There are far too many vulnerable people left in London. 2/4
3. There are big age differences that will take time to smooth out - even with our current booster acceleration.
In London (below), far too many teens remain unvaccinated and far too few over 50s boosted. 3/4

4. Looking at London by age and deprivation the large gaps persist. We have far far too many vulnerable unboosted over 50s in London - who will also be most exposed to infection.
To protect them - and the NHS - we need to cut transmission *now* as well as vaccinate. 4/4
