I wouldn't call 79% only *slightly* better than 63% - i'd say it was a lot better! and hospitalisation is not the only metric... long covid & time off school missed with acute infection matters too.
2/ We pointed out that there was very little difference in protection against omicron infection between vaccinated & previously infected 5-11y, while infection plus 2 vaccine doses might provide slightly better protection after 4 months (79.4% vs 62.9%)

Interviews with parents about COVID-19 vaccines found they "decide differently when it comes to their children, they're much more wary...[they] feel personally accountable" - @vaxpacstudy @DrKeriWong.

We'll cont. to feed your insights into #policy +beyond!
🚨2-min Summary of @UCL_Global @VaxPacStudy🚨
80 #Japan🇯🇵 & #UK🇬🇧 parents with young #children told us their concerns about making #Covid19 #vaccine💉 #decisions & the type of #support they would like given that #families are often not part of the public conversation. See🧵..

Listen to our @vaxpacstudy parents!

📢Calling all parents who took part📢

THREAD on current covid situation in UK:
TLDR: early in new wave, admissions ⬆️, deaths flat, booster uptake good, child vax poor. Worth being more careful again.

VACCINES WORK for 5-11 year olds - why are we not offering them anymore!!!?

Super important thread on #children #covid and #vaccination for this group. This is why in the @vaxpacstudy we asked parents with young children what their concerns are and what #support they would need to make better #vaccination #decisions...

It was really upsetting to hear that ppl report experiencing LC for 2y+ (adults/children), 20% of #disabled inds still v. much isolating and schools reporting staffing issues as #teachers/#educators exp LC.
How can the UK gov do even less now to support us 1y post #FreedomDay?
VaX-PaC Study retweeted
@trishgreenhalgh: ...The definition and assessment of LC varies across countries and largely depends on whether people are accessing health services for us to find out. If they're not access the services, no one is picking this up. Difference across countries again.
VaX-PaC Study retweeted
@chrischirp:...UK @ONS infection survey is unique in that it follows people up so we can examine long covid. Most other countries don't have this. So it is difficult to compare long covid rates across countries.
VaX-PaC Study retweeted
Take home message:
@Daltmann10: Every person who gets covid has a 20% chance of developing LC - same rate across countries. Covid doesn't differentiate which country you are in. So we could estimate what the disease burden is per country based on reported infection rates.
VaX-PaC Study retweeted
I asked @IndependentSage today about how the #UK #LongCovid (LC) rates compare to countries with stricter covid #restrictions?
3 answers👇which highlight a knowledge gap in LC - its consequences & future burden - that perhaps the int'l scientific community can address together
