Half New Cases Are Jabbed.
Vaccinated people now make up almost 47% of all new Covid cases, symptom-tracking app claims amid signs Britain's third wave may have peaked already
Vaccinated Britons now make up almost half of Covid cases across the country, a symptom-tracking study suggested today - but there are signs the third wave may have already peaked (centre). King's College London scientists estimated 33,118 people were catching the virus every day in the week to July 10, compared to 33,723 in the previous seven-day spell. But 47 per cent of cases are among those who have received at least one dose of the Covid vaccine, surging upwards from about a quarter at the start of June. This does not mean the jabs do not work. Scientists have always been honest that they are not perfect and millions will still be vulnerable to infection even after getting both doses. Professor Tim Spector, who leads the study, suggested today the shift in trend was likely because the virus was 'running out' of non-jabbed Britons to infect, with nearly 90 per cent of adults having already received at least one dose. Studies show a single dose is less effective at preventing infection, but still drastically slashes the risk of hospitalisation and death. Jabs are slightly weaker against the Indian 'Delta' variant which triggered the third wave. There were also signs in the data that Britain's cases may have already peaked (right). Case numbers have been driven up in recent weeks because of restrictions easing and, according to some scientists, because people gathered together to watch Euro 2020. But the latest figures from King's College London show they fell by one per cent in the most recent week data is available, and are dropping in every region. The most pronounced dip was in Scotland, where cases have almost halved in a fortnight, coinciding with the national team being knocked out of the football tournament early.
