UK ‘will be back to normal’ by end of the year – if we sort booster jabs, says Sage expert
But it is not known how long they will give people protection, with the first people being jabbed in December 2020.
“If vaccines continue to work, and we don’t have some nasty variants, then potentially we could be completely back to normal by the end of the year. And it has committed almost £30 million to improve vaccine testing capacity to help keep on top of the virus and any new variants. However, one expert - Ravi Gupta, professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Cambridge - said they could slash fatalities moving forward.
Modelling from Government scientists published last night suggests that keeping immunity against Covid high could slash deaths by half in just a few months. Prof Medley, who is chair of Spi-M, said it's unclear how the virus will evolve and “the question is whether the vaccines can hold it”.
