Among this week’s notable insights, we have seen:

  • Last week’s 75.5m Medical Health page views, up +9% week on week, was the highest since the week of ‘Freedom Day’ on 21st June when almost all Covid-19 restrictions were lifted across the country

  • Since Omicron was identified, the nation's interest in the variant is clear from the +31% increase in average weekly page views across a period when unique user levels have remained stable, albeit consistently high

  • With the NHS speeding up the vaccine booster roll out in the last fortnight, Vaccine content engagement has grown by +40% compared to the 2-week period beforehand with that growth expected to accelerate
