Delaying second doses of vaccine reduced COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths Delaying people’s second COVID-19 vaccine dose likely prevented tens of thousands of hospitalisations and thousands of deaths in England.
These are the findings of a retrospective analysis from the Imperial College London COVID-19 Response Team which aimed to quantify the impact of delaying the delivery of second vaccine doses on the epidemic in England.
Their analysis estimates that this may have prevented an average of 58,000 hospital admissions and 10,000 deaths between 8th December 2020 and 13th September 2021. Imperial College London
