Study found that a significant percentage of the UK population was not vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19 by summer 2022, leading to thousands of hospitalizations and deaths that could have been prevented with better vaccine coverage. The research, published in The Lancet, analyzed anonymized health data and found that one third to half of the population was under-vaccinated. Study implications include identifying groups at greater risk, such as younger individuals, men, deprived areas, and non-white ethnicity, and using this information to inform public health interventions and policy. This research marks a new era in UK science, providing valuable insight and potentially influencing the future of healthcare data analysis.
