I wonder how many of those unvaccinated people were people that for some reason could 't be vaccinated? Like immunocompromised patients that already have a higher risk of dying? This seems like an important factor?
- rsynnott 5y agoUK recommendation was that immunocompromised people be vaccinated; they were prioritised, in fact, so ~all of the immunocompromised people would've been vaccinated for most of the time period.
- cinntaile 5y agoOk thanks for the clarification, I was under the impression that immunocompromised people couldn't take the vaccine.
- rsynnott 5y agoNo, they can generally take it, and most jurisdictions recommend it and prioritise them. There is some question of how effective it is in immunocompromised people; some appear not to produce very many antibodies for long after vaccination (though that's not all that great a proxy for efficacy).
- occamrazor 5y agoVery important for thise people, but nut much for population statistics. And immunocompromised people can generally be vaccinated, the question which is still open is how effective the vaccine is for them.
- cinntaile 5y agoI'll have to read up about how it works for immunocompromised people it seems.
