Between 1 Jan and 31 Oct 2021, the monthly age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) for deaths involving #COVID19 have been consistently lower for people who received a second dose of the vaccine at least 21 days ago compared with unvaccinated people ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

Over the whole period (1 Jan to 31 Oct 2021), the age-adjusted risk of deaths involving #COVID19 was 96% lower in people who had received a second dose at least 21 days ago compared with unvaccinated people ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

The difference in age-adjusted risk of deaths involving #COVID19 for people who had received a second dose at least 21 days ago compared with unvaccinated individuals varied from 99% (in Feb) to 78% (in Oct) ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

These changes can be caused by various factors, such as changes in

▪️ the composition of the group
▪️ background COVID-19 infection rates
▪️ levels of immunity from prior infection
▪️ dominant variants and seasonal changes in mortality rates

➡️ ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

The age-adjusted rates are not equivalent to measures of vaccine effectiveness.

They account for differences in age structure and population size, but there may be other differences between groups which could partly explain the differences in the rates ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

Changes in non #COVID19 mortality by vaccination status are largely driven by the changing composition of the vaccination status groups ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

These changes are because of the prioritisation of the clinically extremely vulnerable and people with underlying health conditions, and differences in timing of vaccination among people who were eligible ow.ly/kabn50Hfeuq

The number of unemployed people per vacancy fell to a record low of 1.2 in August-October 2021, after reaching a pandemic peak in April-June 2020

The fall was largely driven by the unprecedented number of vacancies ow.ly/jfhO50HfeOs

With a record 1.2 million job vacancies in the three months to November 2021, our latest survey shows more than half of businesses who reported a worker shortage stated they were unable to meet demands.

A high number of workers aged under 35 went from work a year ago into unemployment by Quarter 2 2020.

Inactivity for workers aged 55+ also rose early in the pandemic, and while movements to inactivity were lower in the same quarter in 2021, they remained higher than in 2019.
