Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, this Wednesday (29) encouraged people to take the booster dose of the vaccine against Covid-19, saying that the overwhelming majority of patients with coronavirus in intensive care in British hospitals did not receive the backup.
Johnson also said people should celebrate the approach of the New Year with caution, after he decided not to impose stricter restrictions to limit the spread of the highly transmissible Ômicron variant.
“I’m sorry to say this, but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care at our hospitals are people who have not received a booster dose,” the prime minister told reporters during a visit to a vaccination center.
“I’ve talked to doctors who say the numbers reach 90% of people in intensive care,” he added.
According to Johnson, the “Ômicron variant continues to cause real problems.” “You’re seeing cases increase in hospitals, but it’s obviously lighter than the Delta variant.”
