About this episode
The number of deaths from Covid-19 in the UK was at one point the highest among European countries. To better understand this, Dr Filipa Sá at King’s College London combined data on the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases and the number of deaths from Covid-19 per 100,000 people for local areas in England and Wales with socioeconomic data to explore the factors influencing the numbers of infections and deaths.

This means that improving the efficacy of vaccines in the ageing population is crucial to public health. Dr Lei Jin and colleagues from the University of Florida set out to develop a novel strategy to directly address this key issue.
