our medical editor, fergus walsh, is here to tell us more.community. we do have figures for patients in hospital with covid in england — on 1st october, it stood at 3,644 — the highest figure since april. two thirds of patients are primarily being treated for something else. and, if we go back throughout the pandemic, you can see the numbers are much lower now than last winter and ten times lower than at the peak in early 2021. those in hospital with covid are mostly over 65. flu is still at very low levels as it's mostly a winter virus. around 2a million people are eligible for a covid booster this autumn and 35 million for a flu vaccine. if you are not eligible, you can buy a flu vaccine but not a covid jab. that looks likely to change. the us company moderna says it is working to make that happen, so the under—65s who are not in at—risk groups could pay for the jab. in the us, moderna's covid vaccine can already be bought in a pharmacy for around £100 — that's at least five times the cost of a flu jab here. moderna is also working on a com
