COVID-19 - More Reasons to Close Borders (12 pgs)

Following a new study done at Columbia University showing that the SA Variant could be a bigger threat than previously thought & new CDC guidance which continues to discourage travel, we are further convinced that border restrictions & closures are likely to increase, not decrease as we progress through 2021. We show that previous lab studies of vaccine efficacy against the SA strain may have been overstated. Our analysis shows that 55% of the population could be potentially at risk from the SA strain even after current vaccination programmes are complete. Our vaccine supply & demand analysis shows EU supply needs are unlikely to be met until at least Q3 and that border closures are increasing globally.
