Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group and chair of Britain’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), said that the Covid vaccine rollout should be reined in to “target the vulnerable” rather than giving endless boosters to the entire population. He said: “we can’t vaccinate the planet every four to six months. It’s not sustainable or affordable.”
“[If] your goal is to stop all infections … that is wrong,” he said, adding that when it comes to the virus “the worst is absolutely behind us.” Further, “more strong evidence is needed” before following places like Israel, where a fourth booster dose has been authorized for use.
