Reading 2/2:
people who were under-vaccinated. While all age groups were affected, the majority were older people, researchers said. Under-vaccinated people
aged over 75 were more than twice as likely to suffer a severe Covid-19 outcome than those who were fully protected, the study found.
Those eligible for a seasonal Covid vaccine before the end of this month include all those aged 65 or over, those aged between six months and 64
years old who are at increased risk, and those living in a care home for older adults. Frontline health and social care workers, carers aged 16 to 64.
and people aged 12 to 64 who live with someone with a weakened immune system are also eligible. The highest rates of under-vaccination were
found in younger people, men, those in areas of higher deprivation, and people of non-white ethnicity, the study found.
Researchers said the study - the largest of its type carried out in the UK and the first of its kind globally-represented a landmark advance for
science. It included virtually everyone in the UK and united NHS data that was stored and gathered differently depending on the country. Experts aim
to extend this type of study to many other areas of medicine, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory diseases, screening programmes
and other vaccinations, such as for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Prof Cathie Sudlow, the chief scientist at Health Data Research UK and director
of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre, said: "We believe that we could and should extend these approaches to many other
areas of medicine, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes to search for better understanding. prevention and treatment of disease."
