dr turtle is also a senior clinical lecturer in infectious diseases at the university of liverpool.bout the most important thing to take away from this research. i think there are two things which are important to take away. the first one is that in all the people we studied, everybody who had this vaccine, the pfizer vaccine, had a very good immune response irrespective of the interval that there was in between the two doses that they had. so some people had a 3—4 week interval and another group of people we studied had on average a ten week interval, and although you're quite right to say that we did see a larger antibody response in those who would have the longer interval, nevertheless those that had the short interval still mounted very good antibody responses. i think the really key thing we saw, which i think won't come as a surprise, is the second dose is really crucialfor getting good immunity, particularly against the delta variant, which is so prevalent in the uk at the moment. so even people who have had previous covid—19 who then get vaccinated, they have even bigger re

calum semple is a professor in child heath and outbreak medicine at the university of liverpool. s now, especially in some other countries, france and the netherlands and so on, and that is an effect of the pandemic? it�*s really unusual and quite interesting. we noticed out—of—season outbreaks in two different parts of australia, then it was reported in south africa, and now it has been reported in france and holland. we have started to see sporadic cases in the middle of the summer in the uk as well. this is very unusual, normally, we would expect this in the winter season. we think it�*s because the pregnant mums who delivered these babies were not exposed themselves over the last year in winter because of the pandemic, but it also shows that there is no good reason why these viruses should be restricted to the winter, if we maintain good hand washing and respiratory hygiene we could have a huge impact on respiratory viruses overall. so what should parents do? they might be alarmed, watching you now, what sort of action should they take if they do think that their child has rsv
