An intensive care consultant says most Covid cases are those aged between 40 and 50.

While cases are high at the moment, the number of deaths and hospitalisations are much lower than in the first two waves due to the vaccine roll-out with more than 2.25 million being double-jabbed in Wales.: "Still a steady stream of covid patients in ITU. Majority unvaccinated - good people on the whole who have unfortunately believed the negative stories and this has led to them not getting the jab."Still getting deaths.

He added: "I suspect nothing I say will change anyone's mind about getting the vaccine but as your friendly neighbourhood ITU team we really, really think you should."And if you have had your vaccine, get your booster. Seems to have a big effect - we are seeing vaccine escape in double vaccinated patients, thankfully not many.

"The one thing I hate is putting people off to sleep knowing they may never wake up. The vaccine is really helping, when I think back to this time last year." Boosters are already being offered to people over the age of 50, frontline NHS and social care staff and people who are extremely vulnerable to Covid.On Monday, it was confirmed those over 40 will also receive the booster.
