U.K. gov't advisers recommended against 4th vaccine dose

(Stefan Rousseau/PA via AP) (Stefan Rousseau)LONDON — (AP) — U.K. government advisers have recommended against giving a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine to nursing home residents and people over 80 because data shows that a third shot offers lasting protection against admission to the hospital. For people over 65, protection against hospitalization remains at about 90% three months after the third dose, according to data compiled by the U.K. Health Security Agency. Instead, the government should focus on giving a third dose to as many people as possible to boost protection against the highly transmissible omicron variant. The number of people in the U.K. hospitalized with COVID-19 rose to 18,454 on Thursday, more than double the figure two weeks earlier. Rising staff absences at U.K. hospitals have already prompted the military to provide backup to beleaguered doctors and nurses.

(AP Photo/Frank Augstein) (Frank Augstein)LONDON — (AP) — Britain’s public health agency says preliminary data suggest people with the omicron variant are between 50% and 70% less likely to need hospitalization than those with the delta strain of the coronavirus. The U.K. Health Security Agency findings add to emerging evidence that omicron produces milder illness than other variants -- but also spreads faster and better evades vaccines. As of Dec. 20, 132 people had been admitted to U.K. hospitals with confirmed omicron, of whom 14 -- aged between 52 and 96 -- died. Data out of South Africa, where the variant was first detected, have also suggested omicron might be milder there. Confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.K., where omicron is now dominant, have surged by almost 60% in a week.
