The Omicron variant pierces a lot more vaccines than other covid mutations. This is certified by the UK Health Protection Agency: Two doses of the AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines provide little protection, but the third dose significantly increases the vaccine’s effectiveness, between 70 and 75%. The study was released by the same agency, which also predicts that the UK could record more than a million cases by the end of December if current trends remain unchanged and Omicron is expected to become the dominant variant by mid-December. In the last 24 hours, the UK has recorded 58,194 new cases of COVID-19, the highest number of positive cases in a day since 9 January, and 120 deaths; A total of 448 cases of Omicron were also reported, up from 249 a day earlier, bringing the total across the UK to 1.26.
So far 22 million people have received the recall in the UK. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said this is “our best defense and we have turbo-charged the launch program by inviting over 40 and 70 lakh people to request their third dose to protect themselves from the disease.” ” He then echoed the Prime Minister’s words, saying: “I urge you to come forward to help protect yourself and your loved ones as soon as you can because of the booster dose.” In Scotland, Minister Nicola Sturgeon has warned that a “potential tsunami” of infections may be lurking, while Mark Drakeford keeps the alert high for Wales, where cases remain low at the moment. No more Omicron cases have been reported in Northern Ireland, which remains at 3.
