NEW: in the last couple of weeks there have a *lot* of new studies out assessing vaccine efficacy, many of which have touched on the question of waning immunity. Unsurprisingly, these have prompted a *lot* of questions. Time for a thread to summarise what we do and don’t know:

Joe Phaahla: Everyone of 18+ in SA can from 2day walk in at a #COVID19 vaccination site without having registered on the #EVDS (they'll help you to register on-site), but remember, you will stand in a line for longer than someone who had registered at home, so try to register.

Watching the English football with full stadiums and in South Africa, world champion Rugby with empty stadiums. High coverage vaccination in the UK allows fun to come back. Come on SA! Lets vaccinate so we can go back to exciting full stadiums and kick back the economy! – at Hillcrest, South Africa
