Briteistä tihkuu vähän lisätietoa. Booster tässä tarkoittanee kolmatta annosta.
"early estimates of vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptomatic infection
find a significantly lower VE for against Omicron infection compared to Delta
infection. Nevertheless, a moderate to high vaccine effectiveness of 70 to 75%
is seen in the early period after a booster dose. With previous variants,
vaccine effectiveness against severe disease, including hospitalisation and
death, has been higher than effectiveness against mild disease. It will be a
few weeks before effectiveness against severe disease with Omicron can be
estimated, however based on this experience, this is likely to be substantially
higher than the estimates against symptomatic disease. The duration of
restored protection after mRNA boosting is not known at this juncture"
"These results should be interpreted with caution due to the low numbers and the possible
biases related to the populations with highest exposure to Omicron (including travellers and
their close contacts) which cannot fully be accounted for."
Ja tämä alkaa tukemaan myös sitä lievempää oireiden kirjoa omikronin osalta:
"To date, there are no cases of Omicron which are reported as having been hospitalised or
died through routine reporting. "
Otanta tosin vasta 1265 omikron tartuntaa.
