#Covid
Essentially, we're hardly vaccinating now, we're def in another wave, as well as covid, flu hosp admissions increasing rapidly & NHS strain still severe.
If eligible, get your covid & flu jabs & don't mix if you're sick (regardless of whether it's covid - no one wants your cold or flu either).
A year ago we did almost 1 million booster doses a day. This Xmas hardly any. And it's not cos we've finished - just under half of 50-64 yr olds remain unboosted.
Far too few kids have received even 1 dose.
Most adults under 50 last received a dose almost a year ago.
ONS infection survey shows that infections now going up in all nations (NB 2 weeks old data!).
Going up fastest in London and South and adults under 50.
BA.1.1 dominant but CH.1 Omicron variant gaining ground (now at 10%).
