Important related point in the article, mort people are 18 months from their last vaccine. Most of the UK havent't recieved the newer bivalent vaccine (which has completely replaced the original vaccines in the US) at all.
Ah yes, I meant to flag that up - our immunity is waning and we could get a surge when schools go back before any vaccine program is rolled out. I assume they'll offer a yearly one round about the same time as the flu jabs but it's not something I am aware of bring scheduled.
