Boosters need injection of urgency after deaths of double-jabbed over-70s

There are deaths and there are needless deaths.

On Thursday, the government published its 44th vaccine surveillance report and in a table on page 18 it noted 2,032 deaths of double-vaccinated individuals over 70. More than 3,000 from the same double-jabbed cohort were hospitalised.


The deaths are notable because some - perhaps most of them - could have been prevented with a booster shot.

A few may have had a third jab but the data covers a four-week window in October and for the vast majority, a booster, if it arrived at all, would have come too late. If, like in Israel, our booster campaign had started in late July it could have been a very different story.
