Subject myself to and hour of pain this afternoon hoping that someone on this committee would ask about treatments. Of course none of them did. Anyway this silver bullet that we've all been promised will continue to be required "well into the future" according to Handjob's comments...... and if vaccines are needed then so will SNG.
Revaccination could be needed every six months, says Matt Han****
Health Secretary Matt Han**** says Covid vaccinations will continue "long into the future" - comparing it to the annual flu jab.
Speaking at the Health and Social Care Committee, he says: "There's absolutely no doubt that vaccines and testing will still be a feature next year."
He says the testing will take the form of surveillance testing, to find out where the vaccine is in the UK, as well as testing people who have symptoms.
He adds: "On the vaccine, I anticipate that we will probably need to revaccinate. Because we don't know the longevity of the protection from these vaccines.
"It might need to be every six months, it might need to be every year. I anticipate covid and flu vaccinations long into the future."
