On the afternoon of the 15th local time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a press conference and announced that starting today, the promotion and vaccination scope of the third dose of Xinguan booster needle will be expanded from groups aged 50 and over to groups aged 40 and over, and minors aged 16-17 can also receive the second dose of vaccination. He also said that according to the current epidemic data, the British government believes that there is no reason to enter the "plan B" blockade policy. Recently, due to a new wave of outbreaks in many countries in Western Europe, some countries began a new blockade policy. Boris reminded the British people to be vigilant at all times and encouraged everyone to cooperate with the vaccination of the new crown vaccine as soon as possible, so as to save Christmas. At the same time, with the continued promotion of the vaccine enhancement plan, the government will adjust the definition of comprehensive vaccination. When the third dose of vaccine is popularized to all ages, the official will define the three doses of vaccine as complete vaccination, relax restrictions on the groups fully vaccinated, and exempt some isolation and testing. Boris also admitted that in the near future, people may need to be fully vaccinated before they can get a vaccine pass. When asked whether the "plan B" would be touched, Boris said that the current situation did not need to trigger the "plan B". However, if the epidemic in the European continent rages and further produces new variants, the government will have to re-examine whether the restrictions on the entry and exit of British residents into the EU need to be restored. Said Javed, British Minister of health and social security, said that data showed that the vaccine's immunity to COVID-19 began to decline after 6 months, but third doses of vaccine could increase the protection of symptomatic infections to more than 90%. He called on all groups aged 40 and over to receive a third booster injection within six months of vaccination. Data show that since the opening of the UK in the summer, the number of new cases increased sharply on the same day, reaching 54674 in a single day. Since November, the number of new cases on that day has decreased for the first time, and the overall trend has also tended to be stable, with more than 30000 to 40000 new cases on a single day. Previously, some experts inferred that under the joint action of vaccine immunization and previous natural infection, the outbreak of cases in the UK may have peaked. Professor Chris Whitty, chief medical officer of the United Kingdom, said the number of confirmed cases in the UK was flat but still at a fairly high level. The number of hospitalized patients was much lower than that in the peak period of COVID-19. He added that all areas of the NHS are under pressure, including emergency rooms and intensive care units, and it is not yet the flu outbreak season in December. Oliver Dalton, chairman of the British Conservative Party, also said that whether to accept the blockade in this difficult winter depends entirely on the British themselves. "As long as we build our own defense wall against the new crown and get vaccinated, we can have a decent Christmas this year." Since the outbreak of covid-19, the epidemic in Britain has been full of twists and turns. Last winter's reunion, Christmas is not the biggest influence. Local people generally expressed the hope that this year's Christmas can be reunited with their families and spend a more normal Festival. In the interview, many people also expressed concern about the uncertainty of Christmas this year. As of November 15, more than 9.6 million cases had been confirmed in the UK, 39705 new cases had been added on November 15, more than 140000 people had died, and 47 new deaths had been added in a single day. At present, more than 50.58 million people in the UK have received the first dose of vaccine, more than 46.02 million people have received the second dose of vaccine, and 13 million people have received the third dose of vaccine.
