more those figures will change as we get more data those figures will change as we get more data. chris might want to add. i completely agree with those numbers and to point out, that means roughly a quarter people can still pass it on and therefore it s not, someone being vaccinated substantially reduces the risk to people around the ba does not eliminate that risk which is why isolation is still important around them. isolation is still important around them. isolation is still important around them. isolation is still important aroundthem. . . ., around them. and to be clear, the fiuures around them. and to be clear, the figures are around them. and to be clear, the figures are about around them. and to be clear, the figures are about the around them. and to be clear, the figures are about the likelihood i around them. and to be clear, the figures are about the likelihood of| figures are about the likelihood of contracting the virus as chris said earlier, contr
69-88% symptomatic disease. one dose, a 69 88% production and with two doses, over 91% reduction in the chance of hospitalisation. it s not 100% but these are highly effective vaccines. when it comes to the third test, infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which will put unsustainable pressure on the nhs, inevitably we have to be more cautious in our interpretation of the data. at this point in time, as you can see from this slide, the rates of hospitalisations, whilst not trivial and rising, over 2700 people are in hospital with covid at the moment, is way below both the first and second bits of the peaks in autumn last year and spring of last year. on the next slide, if we
of course only thanks to the vaccine programme that we are able to take these cautious steps now, but to take these steps we must be cautious and we must be vaccinated. so please get that jab. and we must be vaccinated. so please get thatjab. thanks very much, i will now pass to chris to do the slides. . ~ will now pass to chris to do the slides. ., ~ , ., will now pass to chris to do the slides. ., ,, , ., , , slides. thank you, first slide, - lease. slides. thank you, first slide, please- as slides. thank you, first slide, please. as people slides. thank you, first slide, please. as people will - slides. thank you, first slide, please. as people will recall, | slides. thank you, first slide, i please. as people will recall, there were four road map tests and i will go through each of them in turn. the first of them was the vaccine deployment programme continuing successfully. i think people are very aware of the fact this is going very aware of the fact this is going very well a
