Britain must vaccinate two million people a week to avoid a third wave of the coronavirus outbreak, a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has concluded.
The UK has had over 71,000 deaths from the coronavirus and has recorded over 2.3 million cases of COVID-19 infections as of late Monday, according to a Reuters tally.
“The most stringent intervention scenario with grade 4 England-wide and schools closed during January and 2 million people vaccinated per week, is the only situation we considered which reduces peak ICU burden below the levels seen during the first wave”, the study said.
“In the absence of substantial vaccine roll-out, cases, hospitalisations, ICU admissions and deaths in 2021 may exceed those in 2020.”
An accelerated uptake of 2 million vaccinated a week”is predicted to have a much more substantial effect”, it added https://bit.ly/3o9l2MJ. The study has yet to be peer-reviewed.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his scientific advisers have said a version of the coronavirus, which could be up to 70% more transmissible, was spreading rapidly in Britain, even though it is not thought to be deadly or to cause more serious illness.
That prompted tight social mixing restrictions measures for London and southeast England, while plans to ease curbs over Christmas across the country were radically scaled back or scrapped altogether.
Media reports over the weekend stated that the United Kingdom will roll out the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from Jan. 4, with its approval by the nation’s medical regulator expected within days.
Earlier this month, the United Kingdom became the first country in the world to roll out the vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech.
The British government said on Thursday that 600,000 people in the uk have received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine since inoculations began.
