A week of little progress either way on the hospital numbers with them staying roughly the same for two weeks now. Good news that it isn't increasing but we have to realise that we are a long way of having this under control. Compared to this period 12 months ago we had less than 1,000 in hospital and we now have over 5 times that. We've had similar % plateauing figures in the past with 1 going on to go up again (Nov/Dec) and one going on to go down (Jan), the next few weeks will give us an indication of where we are going.
We're on 89.1% of the adult population having had one jab and 3/4s having had both, unfortunately 10.9% of the adult population is 5.7M people that haven't had the jabs which is still a large number and we need to keep using onwards with the vaccination to get that as low as possible.
Some interesting debates going on at the moment, Should we have a booster jab or should we give the doses to countries that haven't had as much vaccination availability; and giving jabs to kids and how young should they go. I think while we still have a sizeable hospitalised population we should carry on with the booster programme, we are leading the way in vaccines with our early start, we don't want to find out that actually we needed the boosters after all and have to play catch up after all the hard work. And for me, as long as the data available shows that jabbing kids has proven safe, it has been rolled out in different countries with no issues, then I'm all for it.
Any ideas on why this is the case? Is it simply down to restrictions being eased?
