I’ve heard 70% being mooted for that particular figure
Presumably there's a magic number of vaccinations we have to reach for the famed herd immunity to kick in. Do we know what that is? Assume it will be dependent on the effectiveness of vaccines both in terms of stopping hospital admissions and how much transmission drops once vaccinated.

To be fair the vaccine has been effective against the different variants we have now ..Keeps changing Dave but presume herd immunity is irrelevant if new variants appear (locally or from abroad)

A severe mutation is the only way It can be problem against the vaccine surely
Even if they are there’s booster shots coming in the autumn/winter which are very easy to make, especially so given this our advances in quick genetic sequencing of new variants. For flu in the past we had to do a bit of guesswork, not now.
We don't actually know how long vaccines will work - yet. That's why they're talking boosters, including to combat variants that crop up. To a degree, if you get the world vaccinated, and can suppress transmission, it'll burn itself out without boosters anyway, to a level where it's AOK in the realms of risk.Keeps changing Dave but presume herd immunity is irrelevant if new variants appear (locally or from abroad)
Ps also, isn’t there a question mark over how long the vaccines last (hence talk about annual boosters) - BSB ?
And I'm assuming booster shots will only be given to the vulnerable ...as in the flu shots .

I can't imagine the cost of a complete population booster shot every year .@Brighton Sky Blue could bosters be given at the same time as flu jabs?

Ultimately depends how risky it is to have the rest of the population able to pass something on. The ultimate aim is to get your Cov-sip that combats the milder variants - I long for the day that you feel you have a spot of Covid, you pop into Boots for the remedy!I can't imagine the cost of a complete population booster shot every year .

Significantly less than the cost of another lockdown TBF.
Yeah, I read somewhere the other day, I think it was a scientist that said it. Brazil poses a significant risk to global health, the way it's going over there.To be honest as it would just be one booster jab needed you could give it to everyone if you were concerned about a particular variant. The Brazilian one is causing carnage over there and I expect more will be made in that country as it’s basically turned into a COVID factory

Bolsanaro is a complete nutjob.

He will fingers crossed be gone at election time, he’s basically public enemy number one.
True , however is the risk of death enough below a certain age to even do it every year ? Otherwise this is a forever thing or atleast a foreseeable future thing
Example 40% of flu hospital admissions every year are children under 15 ...they dont however get jabbed every year without an underlying issue
8 games to go, in 20th, supposedly decent last 8 games, team in 22nd with 3 games in hand but fixture congestion.
Who wouldn't have taken it at the start?
International travel is everyday lifeVaccine passports for international travel is fine.
Vaccine passports for everyday life is not.
I think the team needs a second dose pronto
International travel is everyday life
You were thinking about awful things and you couldn't distinguish between covid 19 and todays performance?fuck knows how that ended up on this thread!
