Study says Britain must vaccinate two million a week to prevent a third COVID-19 wave​

By Reuters Staff

(Reuters) - Britain must vaccinate two million people a week to avoid a third wave of the coronavirus outbreak, a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has concluded.

The UK has had more than 71,000 deaths from the coronavirus and has recorded over 2.3 million cases of COVID-19 infections as of late Monday, according to a Reuters tally.

“The most stringent intervention scenario with tier 4 England-wide and schools closed during January and 2 million individuals vaccinated per week, is the only scenario we considered which reduces peak ICU burden below the levels seen during the first wave”, the study said.

“In the absence of substantial vaccine roll-out, cases, hospitalisations, ICU admissions and deaths in 2021 may exceed those in 2020.”


An accelerated uptake of two million vaccinated per week "is predicted to have a much more substantial impact", it added bit.ly/3o9l2MJ. The study has yet to be peer-reviewed.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his scientific advisers have said a variant of the coronavirus, which could be up to 70% more transmissible, was spreading rapidly in Britain, although it is not thought to be more deadly or to cause more serious illness.

That prompted tight social mixing restrictions measures for London and southeast England, while plans to ease curbs over Christmas across the nation were dramatically scaled back or scrapped altogether.


Media reports over the weekend said that the United Kingdom will roll out the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from Jan. 4, with its approval by the country’s medical regulator expected within days.

Earlier this month, the United Kingdom became the first country in the world to roll out the vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech.

The British government said on Thursday that 600,000 people in the United Kingdom have received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine since inoculations began.

‘Extreme concern’: UK reports record 53,000 Covid-19 cases as experts warn of ‘dangerous new phase’ in pandemic

The UK reported 53,135 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, its highest daily total of the entire pandemic, as the country braces for the tightening of health measures in a renewed effort to stem the rising tide of infections.

There were also a further 414 deaths reported within 28 days of a positive test for the virus, compared to 357 on Monday, according to official government data.

On Monday, the UK reported 41,385 new infections, the country's previous 24-hour high of the pandemic.

“We are continuing to see unprecedented levels of Covid-19 infection across the UK, which is of extreme concern - particularly as our hospitals are at their most vulnerable,” senior medical adviser for Public Health England, Dr. Susan Hopkins said.
“Whilst the number of cases reported today include some from over the festive period, these figures are largely a reflection of a real increase.”

Health experts believe that the surge in Covid-19 cases is in part due to a new more easily transmissible variant of the virus, one of two news strains recently discovered in the UK.

Hospitals in England and Wales are now treating more Covid-19 patients than during the initial peak of the virus in April, while there are reports that the UK's temporary ‘Nightingale’ hospitals are being dismantled.

The UK is “entering a very dangerous new phase of the pandemic,” according to Professor Andrew Hayward of the government's New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG).

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he urged the government to impose stricter measures in order to prevent a “catastrophe in January and February.”

Health Secretary Matt Hancock will announce any changes to the UK's coronavirus restrictions on Wednesday, with more areas likely to enter the strictest ‘Tier 4’ measures, while there are rumours of a new lockdown-like ‘Tier 5’.

In total, the UK has recorded 2,382,865 Covid-19 cases and 71,567 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
