This is the latest data for Manchester:

Age Rolling rate per 100k
00-04--------132.8
05-09--------321.9
10-14--------518.4
15-19--------324.6
20-24--------187.7

You can see that the epidemic is being driven by school children.

This means that the impact of vaccination is limited because you can't vaccinate this social group and that means that they act as a conduit to reinfect older age groups where antibody levels are dropping.

The heat maps on gov.uk are very useful. They show that the lowest infection rates are now in young adults whilst they are much higher in 40 plus. Why? Because of the decline in vaccine effectiveness with time would be my theory.

Message: If you are over 50 get a booster.

Some hope that when natural infection works its way through children there will no longer be a host population to sustain infection but that could take a long time. It would be particularly useful to know what the antibody rates are in different age groups. This information might be available from infection surveys.

There seems to be a lot of this kind of shit being peddled by the anti-vaxx Covid denying fuckwits. Good to see Baddiel put them in their place:

They want to grossly exaggerate Covid restrictions and diminish the exceptional brutality of the Holocaust. At the same time they let 12 year olds take the vaccinations to keep themselves safer. What a bunch of “heroes”
 
Booster uptake is speeding up with 2.1 million doses being delivered in the last seven days. It should get even faster as 2.7 million bookings have been made in the past seven days and 3.6 million people will be invited to book in the coming week.

Won't be far off 30 million boosters by end of December!
 
took my mum to etihad this morning about 830, walk in. Was really quiet,apparently there is an initial burst at 8 with bookings but then it quietens down. Was really efficient. Got offered my booster as well.

I’m still waiting to grow my 2nd head, that these tossers said will happen.

Not far off a year for first jabs now and nobody I know has noticed any difference.

How long will the cranks call it an experimental jab when there are over 7 billion doses been given world wide and probably a few months off being in existence for 2 years? How much real world data do they need?

Hopefully long enough for them to catch the disease and learn the hard way that perhaps they should have trusted the scientists.

Vaccine Development, Testing, and Regulation

Systems for developing and testing vaccines emerged after the 19th century, when many vaccines began to be used. The current system for developing, testing, and regulating vaccines developed during the 20th century as the groups involved standardized their procedures and regulations.

Surely that’s pretty much everyone that is entitled to it? I was only eligible for my 2nd in July and am 40 so still not able to have a booster. Are there 30 million people over 40 in the UK?

Just for bit of balance, as I know a few have concerns about booster, especially as a few stories posted on here, but I’m nearly 12 hours since both my flu and Pfizer booster, and I’m 100% fine. Been out for a few beers, feel right as rain, not even a sore arm.

Same for my dad. He was helping us in the garden on Saturday and then working as a steward at the city women game yesterday. Got both done at the same and felt nowt.
 
It looks like boosters will be approved for under 50s as early as today.

Edit: boosters to be offered to over 40s and 16 & 17 year olds advised to have a second dose.
