A funny video has compared the Omicron and Delta variants to the Home Alone burglars in a bid to encourage people to get their Covid vaccines and boosters.

The public health stunt was posted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, to highlight why coronavirus jabs are useful to prevent serious illness caused by the virus.

The first scene shows burglars Harry Lime (played by actor Joe Pesci) and Marv Merchants (played by Daniel Stern) trying to get off the floor with the words “Omicron” and, respectively, “Delta” plastered over their heads.

Then, little Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin) can be seen with a paint can labelled “Vaccine”, which he throws towards the thieves.

Lime manages to avoid the can’s hit but Merchants is struck by the vaccine can and falls on his back.

Then, Lime says reassuringly: “Don’t worry, Marv, I’ll get him for you,” only to then be hit by another paint can with the word “booster” on it.

WATCH

"This is my body, I have to defend it!" 🏠

Reminder: Being vaccinated and boosted is your best line of defense against severe illness from COVID-19.

The McCallisters may have forgotten Kevin, but they sure didn’t forget their booster shot. Get yours today! https://t.co/p5x5IOi6Pb

This may be my favorite example of #publichealth messaging ever !! https://t.co/CiKapa4Oxg

This a great meme!

It also demonstrates nicely that vaccines and boosters work to protect you from getting infected by virus that has *already entered your system*.

Stay extra safe by also locking your metaphorical doors & windows to keep intruders from ever getting in! https://t.co/MYnyPDY3rn

Meanwhile, a scientist has suggested that older adults in the UK may need to receive a fourth dose of the Covid-19 jab.

And care minister Gillian Keegan has refused to rule out lockdown measures for England soon after Christmas.
