Seen a couple of articles saying the experts are saying a third wave is inevitable this autumn, how come if the vaccinations roll out continues to be a success? Variants?

Daily numbers :
Infections - 5,294, rolling 7 day down 1.9% (tests 1.57m, up 42%)
Deaths - 110, rolling 7 day down 32.8%
Admissions - 464, rolling 7 day down 25.1%
Vaccs - 1st 386k & 2nd 53k, cumulative 24.8m & 1.67m
In hospital - 7,281
We simply don’t know how long the vaccines will be effective or what variants might crop up.
Flu jabs are annually, so there is some justification for caution and a reality check for anyone thinking it’s simply back to normal time.
Been jabbed with Astra Zeneca within the last half hour. Thanks Sarah Gilbert and others who worked day and night on this, thanks Oxford for being a world leading research centre and thanks to all the wonderful NHS workers for their incredible efforts! I am so proud of the positive role scientists and the NHS have played in the fight against this horrible disease.
Excellent tribute, but don't forget Boris for having the balls and nous for deciding not to go with the EU program and putting in all those preorders, so when the supplier can not deliver others can.
There are so many that can attribute some portion to this mega-successful vaccination program and long may it continue.
................but on the positive side, most reading on the subject I've done seems to point to an expectation that whilst there might be a third wave of infections, there is a high likelihood there won't be a repeat of the deaths and serious illnesses, there are plans already being developed for further vaccinations if required and the scientists are working on tweaks to the vaccines to deal with variants as they arise.
Covid-19 cases per 100,000 by rolling 7 day period:
Brighton & Hove 28 (had peaked at 805 in early January)
Eastbourne 16 (just below 1,000 in mid January)
Mid Sussex 17
Adur 19
Lewes 24
Rother 10
Wealden 10
Incredible figures, some other councils have 20 times these numbers
