Why is the work done by the Vaccine Breakthrough Project important?

In this soundbite, Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) volunteer Deb Smith tells us a little bit about why she believes the work done by the Vaccine Breakthrough Project is important, and why this type of COVID-19 research is still very relevant to many members of the public.

About the research
The Vaccine Breakthrough Project's paper is titled: Severe COVID-19 outcomes post full vaccination of primary schedule and boosters: A meta-analysis of national prospective cohort studies of 30 million individuals in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Here, researchers analysed data from across all four UK nations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) to investigate which groups of people were most likely to fall ill with server COVID-19 despite receiving their primary COVID-19 vaccinations and a booster.
