Have you had Covid recently?
More than 350,000 people have had their Covid-19 autumn booster in Nottingham and the surrounding county. If you are eligible but have not yet stepped forward to claim the autumn 2022 jab, time is running out. The vaccination programme comes to an end on February 12.
In a tweet, the department announced: "We're changing the Covid vaccination programme for 2023 after advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination & Immunisation . The current autumn booster & some initial boosters end in England on 12 February so please come forward if eligible." It went on to say that the date will also be marking an end to initial boosters for 16 to 49-year-olds not in a clinical risk group. In its interim advice to the Government on the coronavirus vaccination programme for 2023, the JCVI advised that plans should be made for those at higher risk of severe Covid to be offered a booster vaccination in autumn 2023.

Study shows persistent symptoms are common three months after testing for COVID-19In a new study from INSPIRE (Innovative Support for Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infections Registry), researchers compared new and ongoing symptoms and outcomes in both COVID-positive and COVID-negative adults who were tested because of acute COVID-19-like symptoms.

COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring and Social Distancing in a University Population - Journal of Healthcare Informatics ResearchThis paper reports on our efforts to collect daily COVID-19-related symptoms for a large public university population, as well as study relationship between reported symptoms and individual movements. We developed a set of tools to collect and integrate individual-level data. COVID-19-related symptoms are collected using a self-reporting tool initially implemented in Qualtrics survey system and consequently moved to .NET framework. Individual movement data are collected using off-the-shelf tracking apps available for iPhone and Android phones. Data integration and analysis are done in PostgreSQL, Python, and R. As of September 2020, we collected about 184,000 daily symptom responses for 20,000 individuals, as well as over 15,000 days of GPS movement data for 175 individuals. The analysis of the data indicates that headache is the most frequently reported symptom, present almost always when any other symptoms are reported as indicated by derived association rules. It is followed by cough, sore throat, and aches. The study participants traveled on average 223.61 km every week with a large standard deviation of 254.53 and visited on average 5.77 ± 4.75 locations each week for at least 10 min. However, there is no evidence that reported symptoms or prior COVID-19 contact affects movements (p | 0.3 in most models). The evidence suggests that although some individuals limit their movements during pandemics, the overall study population do not change their movements as suggested by guidelines.
