a rocky next few weeks. here's our health editor, hugh pym. as the booster roll—out continued here in redcar, there was more positive news about its impact. a new study shows that, after three months, boosters still gave high levels of protection for older adults against severe disease caused by omicron, so officials say there is no immediate need forfourth jabs. in terms of protection against severe disease, being hospitalised, the programme has done very, very well. people aged 65 years and above have over 90% protection against being hospitalised. what do you think of the new rule to require vaccination? on a hospital visit, though, the health secretary was challenged by a doctor over mandatoryjabs for nhs staff. i would be dismissed if i don't have a vaccine. the science isn't strong enough.
