Covid hasn't gone away just because people don't wear masks, warns vaccine hub boss
The boss of a busy coronavirus vaccination hub has appealed to residents to get their jabs as Covid-19 has not gone away. Nigat Sultana is chief executive of the East Lancashire Alliance and has been leading Hyndburn’s team of 45 vaccinators and administrative colleagues the inoculation site opened at the Accrington’s Acorn Centre opened in December 2020.
Dedicated vaccinators have been administering 600 booster jabs a day at hub since their autumn roll-out began in early September. The Acorn Centre in Accrington has administered over 100,000 vaccinations since opening in December 2020. During the Autumn booster campaign in 2022 the team have vaccinated more than 6,500 people. Ms Sultana said: “It’s important to carry on being vaccinated against the virus.“Just because nobody is wearing masks, shops are open as normal without restrictions, and you’re not seeing a lot on social media about it, it doesn’t mean the infection has gone away.
“If your booster is due, come along to your local vaccination site to see our very experienced staff, who have been doing this for two years now.” The autumn booster against Covid-19 is available for: all adults aged 50 years and over, frontline health and social care workers, people aged 5fiveto 49 who are in a clinical risk group, people aged 5 to 49 who are household contacts of people with immuno-suppression, and carers aged 16 to 49.

Alterations of the fecal microbiota in relation to acute COVID-19 infection and recovery - Molecular BiomedicinePeople with acute COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 infection experience a range of symptoms, but major factors contributing to severe clinical outcomes remain to be understood. Emerging evidence suggests associations between the gut microbiome and the severity and progression of COVID-19. To better understand the host-microbiota interactions in acute COVID-19, we characterized the intestinal microbiome of patients with active SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to recovered patients and uninfected healthy controls. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples collected between May 2020 and January 2021 from 20 COVID-19-positive patients, 20 COVID-19-recovered subjects and 20 healthy controls. COVID-19-positive patients had altered microbiome community characteristics compared to the recovered and control subjects, as assessed by both α- and β-diversity differences. In COVID-19-positive patients, we observed depletion of Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Lachnospiraceae, as well as decreased relative abundances of the genera Faecalibacterium, Adlercreutzia, and the Eubacterium brachy group. The enrichment of Prevotellaceae with COVID-19 infection continued after viral clearance; antibiotic use induced further gut microbiota perturbations in COVID-19-positive patients. In conclusion, we present evidence that acute COVID-19 induces gut microbiota dysbiosis with depletion of particular populations of commensal bacteria, a phenomenon heightened by antibiotic exposure, but the general effects do not persist post-recovery.

How flawed ‘droplet spread’ narratives shaped the UK's COVID policy responseIn a recent analysis published in the British Medical Journal, Trisha Greenhalgh and colleagues explored inaccurate narratives of the mode of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, propagating that it spreads through droplets and fomites but not air. The authors examined four complementary hypotheses to explain why these flawed narratives prevailed in the United Kingdom (UK) for so long.
