Vaccines are “successful” at reducing hospital admissions, the head of the NHS in England has said as a new study showed a 75% reduced risk of emergency hospital admission among people who have received the Pfizer jab.

A new study by the NHS and the University of Manchester found that older people who had received the jab were less likely to be admitted to hospital and less likely to have a positive test compared to unvaccinated people.
