A single dose of the Pfizer /BioNTech coronavirus vaccine may block 75 per cent of symptomless infections, a study on NHS workers has suggested. Asymptomatic screening of staff at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge showed the number of people testing positive fell from 0.8 per cent to 0.2 per cent 12 days after their injection.

Lockdown has caused a 'scandalous' north-south divide when it comes to the health of people's teeth across England. According to the latest NHS dental statistics, the top 10 areas with the worst teeth are all in northern England, with Middlesbrough topping the list, followed by South Tyneside and Barnsley. It comes as dentists warn of the “scandalous” dental health inequalities across the country - with the gap between north and south likely get worse due to the pandemic. They say the impact of sugar-rich lockdown diets, poor access to care and the suspension of public health programmes (many operated via schools) will come at a terrible cost to both adults and children in our most deprived communities.
