The British government has announced that it will start a third vaccination next week for people over the age of 50 as the spread of the mutant virus "Delta strain" continues.
The British government announced on the 14th that it will start a third additional vaccination next week to keep the vaccine for the new coronavirus effective.
The target is residents of facilities for the elderly, medical staff, and people over 50 years old, and as a result of clinical trials, it is basically confirmed that it is highly effective, and the third time is basically Pfizer or Moderna. It is said that the amount will be halved in the case of modelna after vaccination.
"We are more confident that vaccines are improving our lives," Johnson said in a press conference. "Additional vaccinations can create a higher immune barrier."
The government has been advised by a committee of experts to promote influenza vaccination, including the simultaneous vaccination of two vaccines.
In the future, if the infection with the new coronavirus spreads further and medical care becomes tight, it is possible to take measures such as wearing a mask and requiring the presentation of vaccination proof.
In the UK, the average number of people infected per day is about 33,000 per week, but the number of deaths and serious illnesses has been suppressed to some extent, and the government emphasizes that the vaccine is effective.
