We have patients with the Omicron variant in the hospital.” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson thus addresses the citizens in a message. “We know, from more painful experiences, how these exponential curves can develop. Nobody should have any doubts. There is a wave of Omicron cases” on the way and I fear it is now clear that two doses of the vaccine are simply not enough to guarantee. a good level of protection. But the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a third dose, a booster, we can all increase our level of protection, ”Johnson says. Also read “I know some people will ask if Omicron is less severe than the previous variants and if we really need to get the third dose of the vaccine. And the answer is yes. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Omicron can’t harm you. It can make you and your loved ones seriously ill. We have already seen hospitalizations double in one week in South Africa. And right now we have patients with Omicron in hospital here in the UK, “says the premier.
