UK Omicron: Scottish study says Omicron hospitalisation risk two-thirds lower versus Delta

According to experts from Edinburgh and Strathclyde University, "early national data suggests that Omicron is associated with a two-thirds reduction in the risk of Covid-19 hospitalisation when compared to Delta". The study added that a third booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine offers substantial additional protection against the risk of symptomatic Covid-19 from Omicron infection.
