A key person from Pzfier stated yesterday as reported on talk radio, a third booster will need to given 6 - 12 months after the second. Did not state why such large gap, would imagine it's health and age related. This will be rinse and repeat as it stands. Would surmise it's going to be the same with the others.

I pretty much expected annual vaccines, tbh. I think most people have already been prepared for that likelihood.A key person from Pzfier stated yesterday as reported on talk radio, a third booster will need to given 6 - 12 months after the second.

Concerns Indian Covid variant could ‘scupper’ UK roadmap
The Indian coronavirus mutation could “scupper” the UK’s march to freedom, a leading scientist has warned, despite the lockdown and vaccine programme leading to cases falling to a seven-month low.
Covid-19 infections across the UK dropped to the lowest level since the autumn, according to the latest figures.
But a professor of immunology has called for Britain to be on its guard against a third wave after a possible vaccine-busting mutation was recorded in England and Scotland.
Public Health England (PHE) reported that 77 cases of the B.1.617 variant, which was first discovered in India, have been found.
Imperial College’s Danny Altmann said that as a result, those arriving into the country from India should be subject to a hotel quarantine if the UK is to shut out variants that could set back the Prime Minister’s lockdown easing plans.

No it won’t. Pubs and restaurants will still be operating to Covid rules including no standing, tables spaced and max 6 to a table, table service only. Masks to be worn entering, leaving and going the loo. Hand sanitizer everywhere and all seats and tables disinfected when one group leaves. Everyone to check in via the app or give name and contact details to staff. It’s much much better controlled inside a pub than outside. Mind you the dangerous places are shops and supermarkets where only a fraction of the above is applied......

Funny how these foreign variants don’t do as much damage to the countries they came from. Vaccines stop that happening with the Kent one, while in Europe it ripped through like salt because of the poor vaccine rollout.
What makes these scientists so certain they won’t do the same with the Indian one is anyone’s guess. They said the same with Kent at first.

Of course this works in theory, and a lot of pubs etc will stick by it, but it will still be hard to manage the publics behaviour... And publicans also shouldn't have to manage it.

They haven't been put to the test yet. Why declare them to have overcome anything when the data isn't here after a few weeks of slight reopening?

Scaremongering nonsense. They go on like these variants are a different virus. Whilst the rate of transmission seems much higher with the likes of the SA variant in those vaccinated there is no evidence to suggest you will get seriously ill or die provided you are vaccinated.
