The dominant Covid-19 variant is three times more likely to put those vaccinated in hospital compared to its predecessor, a world-leading immunologist has warned.
Denis Kinane, a world-leading immunologist and founding Scientist at Cignpost Diagnostics told The Mirror how new research from Portugal among vaccinated individuals found that those who have been jabbed and boosted are 3.3 times more at risk of falling seriously ill with the BA.5 Omicron variant.
This variant is currently the most dominant one in the UK.
