Well done, Terence.
I’m gonna try for my Pfizer boost at a walk-in centre tomorrow morning.
(If I’m feeling peckish, maybe I’ll circle back in the afternoon and try for a Moderna chaser…)
I know it’s a little narcissistic, but I’ve come to believe that the virus is tearing through UK right now because it is looking for me … specifically!

I had my Pfizer booster yesterday. Only side effects were an ache in the arm and a general feeling of tiredness that lasted until last night. I thought the 15 minute sit down after the jab was very helpful and all the staff were very welcoming and attentive to people's questions.

Not sure if anyone can confirm but I don't think that figure includes re-infections?

Correct

Risk of reinfection from Omicron more than five times higher than Delta, finds study
The risk of reinfection from Omicron is more than five times higher than Delta and shows no sign of being milder than the previous coronavirus variant, according to a study by Imperial College London.
The results, based on data from the UK Health Security Agency and Britain’s National Health Service, analysed people who tested positive for Covid-19 in a PCR test in England between 29 November and 11 December, reports Reuters.
“We find no evidence (for both risk of hospitalisation attendance and symptom status) of Omicron having different severity from Delta,” the study said, although it noted that data on hospitalisations remains very limited.
“Controlling for vaccine status, age, sex, ethnicity, asymptomatic status, region and specimen date, Omicron was associated with a 5.4-fold higher risk of reinfection compared with Delta,” the study, which was dated Dec. 16, added.
Imperial College said in a statement: “This implies that the protection against reinfection by Omicron afforded by past infection may be as low as 19%.” The institution also noted that the study had not yet been peer reviewed.

Wow Ireland is to introduce an 8pm curfew for hospitality venues and a 50% limit on event capacity, from December 19 until January 30, in a new effort to prevent the spread of Omicron

And yet Witty himself said yesterday that as there are only 15 confirm cases of Omicron in hospital at the moment it was impossible so say any such thing there needs to be over 250 cases in hospital before a study can find any sort of info like being quoted above, I am more inclined to wait for what Witty says which he dear will be in about 10 days time when they actually have data
