">Here's a very in depth "Public Health England" report "Week 36"



bits:



Vaccine effectiveness

Several studies of vaccine effectiveness have been conducted in the UK which indicate

that a single dose of either vaccine is between 55 and 70% effective against

symptomatic disease, with higher levels of protection against severe disease including

hospitalisation and death. Additional protection is seen after a second dose. There is

now also evidence from a number of studies that the vaccines are effective at protecting

against infection and transmission.



Effectiveness against symptomatic disease

Vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic COVID-19 has been assessed in England

based on community testing data linked to vaccination data from the NIMS and from the

COVID Infection Survey. Current evidence is primarily from older adults, who were

among the earliest group vaccinated. Estimates of vaccine effectiveness range from

around 55 to 70% after 1 dose, with little evidence of variation by vaccine or age group

(3, 4, 5). Data on 2 doses is indicates effectiveness of around 65 to 90% (3, 6).

Offer of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines to adults aged under 40 years began

on 10 May 2021. Early estimates of effectiveness of a single dose of either vaccine

indicate a vaccine effectiveness of around 60% after 1 dose of the Pfizer vaccine and

around 70% (95% CI: 46 to 86%) after 1 dose of the Moderna vaccine (week 26 Vaccine

Surveillance Report).

Data suggest that in most clinical risk groups, immune response to vaccination is

maintained and high levels of VE are seen with both the Pfizer and AstraZeneca

vaccines. Reduced antibody response and vaccine effectiveness were seen after 1 dose

of vaccine among the immunosuppressed group, however, after a second dose the

reduction in vaccine effectiveness is smaller (7).



Effectiveness against hospitalisation

Several studies have estimated the effectiveness against hospitalisation in older adults,

all of which indicate higher levels of protection against hospitalisation after a single dose

than that seen against symptomatic disease, around 75 to 85% after 1 dose of the

Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine (3, 9, 10, 11). Data on VE against

hospitalisation with 2 doses for all ages with the Alpha variant is shown in the week 26



Vaccine Surveillance Report.



Effectiveness against mortality

Data is also emerging which suggests high levels of protection against mortality. Studies

linking community COVID-19 testing data, vaccination data and mortality data indicate

that both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines are around 70 to 85%

effective at preventing death with COVID-19 after a single dose (3, 12). Vaccine

effectiveness against mortality with 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine is around 95 to 99%

and with 2 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine around 75 to 99% (week 26 Vaccine

Surveillance Report).



Effectiveness against infection

Although individuals may not develop symptoms of COVID-19 after vaccination, it is

possible that they could still be infected with the virus and could transmit to others.

Understanding how effective vaccines are at preventing infection is therefore important

to predict the likely impact of the vaccination programme on the wider population. In

order to estimate vaccine effectiveness against infection, repeat asymptomatic testing of

a defined cohort of individuals is required. Studies have now reported on vaccine

effectiveness against infection in healthcare workers, care home residents and the

general population. With the Pfizer-BioNTech, estimates of effectiveness against

infection range from around 55 to 70%, with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine they range

from around 60 to 70% (5, 13, 14, 15). With 2 of 2 doses of either vaccine effectiveness

against infection is estimated at around 65 to 90% (5, 13).

DD, you mean massive death and illness from the virus..



Since you became an extremist anti vaxxer you have not offered up one data supported argument that vaccines are unsafe.

We are up a bit today also in BC



"Looking at the past week of cases, there have been 308.7 cases per 100,000 population in people who aren't vaccinated at all,



 compared to 95.6 who are partially vaccinated,



and 34.5 fully vaccinated."

A nice trend ... at the moment at least ^^



Pan-Canadian vaccination passport now available in Manitoba; Here is what you need to know



https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/pan-canadian-vaccination-passport-now-available-in-manitoba-here-is-what-you-need-to-know-1.5637247">Fully vaccinated Manitobans are now able to access the federal pan-Canadian proof of vaccination credentials required to travel at home and abroad.

The pan-Canadian credentials became available to Manitobans on Monday.



This comes after the federal government announced that each province and territory would need to issue its own standardized pan-Canadian vaccine passport for use when travelling.



"The federal credential will be recognized across the country for travelling in other provinces and territories and when returning to Canada from other jurisdictions," Manitoba Central Services Minister Reg Helwer said on Monday.



"You will notice that the federal (proof of vaccination credentials) includes much more information about you," Helwer said.



NOTE - "We strongly recommend you keep using the Manitoba Immunization Card here in the province and elsewhere it is accepted."



"It restricts the amount of information that you are disclosing, it provides the least amount of personal health information which is always the best practice when considering the security of your own data," Helwer said.



I think they will be needed 30th of this month



So is this the one for inter-country use?

Looks like Manitoba is first outa the gate, eh?

Last 3 days



We hit 90.0% 1st dose & jumped to 84.4% on double dosed    (both over 12 yrs)



Also the Care Home person I am responsible for got booster yesterday - I chose Moderna (her second dose was Pfizer & way back in February)



1618 cases total 3 days (476 today) - 20 deaths over the 3 days .. including in  20s & 30s



All data very slow today - not much fine detail



You guys are down 500+ vs. last weeks average day - We are down 300



Noticed both our provinces are up on last 10 weeks  death / case rate - they both have  been rising slowly for a while

We have a new provincial QR code....I'll look into that and the Canadian one..



We are going to the Netherlands for Christmas..



Alberta is quickly catching up with the rest of the country on vaccintations......about 79 per cent are fully vaxxed and 87 per cent with one dose.

87 per cent with one dose bodes well as most all will do dose 2

The chattering classes scoffed at the one hundred dollar per dose bribe, but it has worked with younger age groups.
