Study-Jabs Reduce Hospital Trips ~94%, Comes As PM Issues Lockdown Roadmap

UK

Scott Beasley at Sky News tweets: "New study from Scotland shows vaccines massively reduce the risk of hospitalisation. By the 4th week after first dose- the risk of hospitalisation is reduced by: Pfizer 85%, AstraZeneca 94%. This is real world data in a study by scientists from the University of Edinburgh, University of Strathclyde and Public Health Scotland. Dataset is entire Scotland population of 5.4m people"

  • The good news on vaccine effectiveness in reducing the risk of hospitalisation comes as UK PM Boris Johnson is due to announce a roadmap to ending lockdown restrictions in England this afternoon in the House of Commons.
  • Widely expected that the unwinding will be very gradual, with several weeks between each of the four stages of removing restrictions. Johnson came in for significant criticism in 2020 for the perception he had removed restrictions too early and too quickly to the detriment of public health. As such he is taking the opposite approach this time and ignoring the more lockdown-sceptic members of his own Conservative party, instead siding with more cautious scientific advice.
