Coronavirus: Two thirds of new Covid patients in Scotland are now under-65

PREMIUM Patients under 65 have made up the majority of Covid hospital admissions in Scotland since the beginning of March TWO-thirds of patients being admitted to hospital with Covid in Scotland are now under 65, as vaccinations continue to curb illness and death in older people. Figures obtained by The Herald show that younger patients, aged 44 and under, also accounted for more than half of admissions to intensive care by the start of this month. Previously, the average age of a Covid ICU patient was 60. It is understood that under-65s have made up the majority of overall hospital admissions for the disease since the beginning of March.

Why the UK changed covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccine advice for under-30s

Marco Passaro/Shutterstock Today the UK effectively restricted use of the Oxford/AstraZeneca covid-19 vaccine to people aged 30 and over because of the risk of a rare blood clot syndrome. But other European countries and Canada have broader restrictions, with higher age cut-offs. Why are the regulations different, and what are the implications for vaccine roll-out in the UK? What are the safety concerns over the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine? UK and European medicines regulators have been reviewing a small number of people who developed blood clots linked with low levels of platelets – small particles in the blood that normally help in clotting – soon after having the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. Both have now concluded that they are possibly caused by the vaccine, although they say the benefits of vaccination for most people outweigh the risks of catching covid-19.
