“Additionally, 64.8% of those eligible for a booster have received their booster.”

I will put the difference between 72% and 64.8% down to the lack of ability to make an appointment for a booster in late December and early January.

I think you’re quite right . But the question that ought to be asked is why are so many people who were concerned enough to get the initial 2 jabs lagging on getting the booster ?
Everyone in my circle has had the booster as well , btw .

In the press conf on Jan 27 the Chief Medical Officer tried making a point about this, but it was incomprehensible. It included a table that, for example, purported to give effectiveness rates for Pfizer for omicron for 4-6 months after the third dose. This is for a variant that first hit Europe in the last week of November.
So any ‘data’ about vaccine effectiveness after 4-6 months is based on the usual – pure guesses.

That is fine but how many who are past due for a booster have not had a booster?

This makes them unvaxed as the first two shots are effective for a limited time.

My suspicion is that we are well below the 72% vaxed rate again because people are not bothering to get the boosters. If they get sick they will be wondering why.

“To date, 72.9% of the population has been vaccinated [1 dose], and 71.6% of the population has been immunized [2 doses].”

I think we have hit a plateau at about 72% of the population

The charts are not really relevant. What counts is how many are current right NOW with initial two shots &, if applicable, booster shots to keep them in date.

How many think that just because they have had their two initial shots they are good to go. No they are not. The effectiveness decreases with time &, just like taking prescription drugs on a schedule, the booster is needed to keep the effectiveness up.
