Britain accelerates on third dose of vaccine to stem fourth covid wave. It will be possible to book for the recall of the anti Covid vaccine as early as Monday, one month in advance of when it would be possible to do the third dose. This was announced by the British government, according to which the National Health Service (NHS) is changing the booking system to allow you to make an appointment one month in advance, with the aim of speeding up in view of the “difficult” winter that is to come. heralds.
Until now, anyone waiting for the third dose of the vaccine still had to wait six months after the second to be able to book a booster. It will now be possible to book even after five months, in order to be vaccinated on the exact expiry of the six months.
At the level of measures and restrictions, however, nothing changes at least for now. The country constantly travels over 30 thousand daily infections, with the deaths reaching 200 in the space of 24 hours. Deaths and hospitalizations are up compared to last week, respectively by 12.3% and 3.5%, as the Guardian pointed out, reporting data from the health authorities.
Meanwhile, according to data from the national statistics office, in the week ending 30 October, one in 50 people had covid in their homes in England, a figure that corresponds to 1.5 million people and is the same as the previous week. This is an estimate equal to that of the peak of the second wave, in early January.
“The usual bad news from the usual Great Britain that by pretending that the pandemic is over it damages first its own population, however complacent, and then the rest of the world, difficult and worrying to think of something even more contagious at this rate ..” , tweets Walter Ricciardi, advisor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza.
