Britain's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance said that 60% of people being admitted to hospital with Covid-19 are unvaccinated, correcting an earlier statement he made on Monday.
Vallance earlier said at a news conference with Prime Minister Boris Johnson that 60% of people being admitted to hospital with Covid-19 have had two doses of vaccine.

"About 60% of hospitalisations from Covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from Covid are currently from unvaccinated people."
