welsh deaths were affected by a 72 hr failure of stats apparently.

[Marco]

Yeah, that's probably why the figures are a little higher than expected, as they'll represent a 'catch up' in data of that time.

Double jabbed people are catching Covid and passing it on to those they live with, warn experts who have studied UK household cases.

Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed.

Even if they have no or few symptoms, the chance of them transmitting the virus to other unvaccinated housemates is about two in five, or 38%.

This drops to one in four, or 25%, if housemates are also fully vaccinated.

The Lancet Infectious Diseases work shows why getting even more people vaccinated and protected is important, they say.

Unvaccinated people cannot rely on those around them being jabbed to remove their risk of getting infected, they warn.

Covid infection protection waning in double jabbed

Vaccines do an excellent job of preventing serious Covid illness and deaths, but are less good at stopping infections, particularly since the emergence of the more infectious Delta variant which is dominant in the UK.

And over time, the protection offered by vaccines wanes and needs boosting with further doses.

Could we have link to the above data please?

If the Household study is the one I have commented on before it was full of holes and the conclusion was inconclusive!

All of the above needs verification and validation.

If the above is an opinion, that’s how it should be considered.
