Covid-19: Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination, say doctors and behavioural scientists

Abstract

Covid-19: Stronger warnings are needed to curb socialising after vaccination, say doctors and behavioural scientists Michael DayExperts have called for stronger health warnings for people being vaccinated against covid-19 after observing a rise in infections shortly after vaccination, suggesting that many people are letting their guard down before the vaccine has taken effect.Earlier this month a study led by Public Health England of vaccination in the over 70s found a "notable" rise in covid-19 infections in people immediately after they received the Pfizer-BioNTech or AstraZeneca vaccine. 1 Similarly, a study of Israel's vaccination programme, reported in February, found a similar spike in cases among people who had just been jabbed.2 It found that daily incidence approximately doubled after vaccination until about day 8. 4 Rubin GJ, Brainard J, Hunter P, Michie S. Are people letting down their guard too soon after covid-19 vaccination?
