‘2m vaccines per week will have a much more substantial impact’
The paper said, “Vaccine roll out will further mitigate transmission, although the impact of vaccinating 200,000 people per week - similar in magnitude to the rates reached in December 2020 - may be relatively small.
“An accelerated uptake of two million people vaccinated per week is predicted to have a much more substantial impact.
“The most stringent intervention scenario with Tier 4 England-wide and schools closed during January, and two million individuals vaccinated per week, is the only scenario we considered which reduces peak ICU burden below the levels seen during the first wave.”
