" The U.S reported its first Omicron case on Dec. 1 in California. Many subsequent cases in the U.S. have happened among younger, healthier and vaccinated people who already are less likely to become very sick from COVID-19. But there are still too few people with Omicron to draw meaningful conclusions about whether the variant itself causes a more mild illness, experts told ABC News. "
"Data on severity will become clearer over the coming weeks but hospitalisations from Omicron are already occurring and these are likely to increase rapidly."
The officers said boosters were vital given that vaccine protection was reduced with Omicron, and both third jabs used - Pfizer and Moderna - increased immune response and showed "good effectiveness".
The move is designed to reduce pressure on the state-run National Health Service (NHS) which is dealing with seasonal respiratory infections such as flu.
Health services are being conservative and acting with caution for the health and safety of the citizens and yet the anonymous, unqualified, lying deniers of hc are still whinging.
