Biohazard warning
On April 13, 2007, 28 days before the release of the film
in UK cinemas, a huge biohazard warning sign was projected against the White Cliffs
of Dover. The sign contained the international biological hazard symbol, as well
as stating that Britain was "contaminated, keep out!".
Graphic novel
In July 2006, Fox Atomic Comics and publisher HarperCollins announced
that they were publishing a graphic novel titled 28 Days Later: The Aftermath
in early 2007 to bridge the gap between 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later.

to be unregistered and quickly snapped up by a b3ta reader. The advertising agency
who made the mistake agreed to purchase the rights to the domain for an undisclosed
sum.

Plot
Don
and his wife Alice prepare dinner for their group of survivors in a heavily reinforced
cottage somewhere in rural Rage-infected Britain. As they eat their meal, they
hear a young boy approach outside. Alice opens the door to let the child inside,
who says he has been fleeing the Infected. Moments later, a pack of the Infected
discover the hideout and break in, quickly overwhelming the group. Alice refuses
to leave without the boy and is abandoned by Don, who escapes down a river in
a boat, emerging as the sole survivor.
Over the course of 28 weeks, Britain is declared relatively safe again and an American-led NATO force begins repopulating the country. Chief medical officer Major Scarlet Ross (Rose Byrne) is startled by the sudden arrival of children in the green zone. Among the children are Tammy and Andy, Don and Alice's children who were in Spain during the initial outbreak. At only 12 years of age, Andy is the youngest person in Britain. During their subsequent medical inspection, Scarlet notes Andy's heterochromia, a trait he inherited from his mother. Andy and Tammy are subsequently admitted to District 1, a heavily-reinforced, fully functional section of London in the Docklands guarded by the United States Army, including Sergeant Doyle (Jeremy Renner) and helicopter pilot Flynn (Harold Perrineau). They are reunited with their father Don, who is now head caretaker of the district. Inside their new penthouse, Don tearfully recounts his escape, revealing that Alice was killed by the Infected. The next day, the two children slip out of the safe zone to return to their old home, where Andy discovers Alice, disheveled but alive. Andy and Tammy are recaptured by the US Army while Alice is decontaminated. A blood test reveals that she is infected with the Rage virus, but not displaying any symptoms, labeling her a carrier, as evidenced by her bloodshot eye. Though Scarlet wants to keep Alice alive to seek a cure, she is overruled by her superior.
Don visits his children in a holding room, where they question him about Alice being alive. He then visits Alice in her isolation cell, and asks for forgiveness. After they kiss, the Rage virus in her saliva infects him. Now an Infected, he brutally kills her and goes on the prowl in District 1, attacking and infecting soldiers. The outbreak forces the area into lockdown, but not in time to prevent Don from forcing his way into the safe room, where he begins to kill and infect the confined civilians. Scarlet rescues Tammy and Andy from containment, fleeing together as chaos spreads to the streets. Doyle and the soldiers are ordered to shoot the Infected, but the chaos escalates into an extermination of the populace. He abandons his post and escapes with Scarlet and the children as District 1 is incinerated by napalm. Meanwhile, large numbers of the Infected escape the bombardment, occupying the city.
Stopping at the derelict remains of Regent's Park, Scarlet informs Doyle that the key to curing infection is in the children, who may have the same immune system as their mother. Flynn arrives by helicopter to pick up Doyle, but refuses to take anyone else. The infected appear and pursue the group, forcing them to flee. To aid their escape, Flynn uses his helicopter rotor blades to kill dozens of Infected before leaving, designating Wembley Stadium as the new rendezvous point. The group breaks into an abandoned car to escape the infected and the clouds of poisonous gas being vented into the city. In the process of starting the car, Doyle is killed by soldiers with NBC suits and flamethrowers. Scarlet drives into the London Underground to evade a pursuing helicopter, where she and the children continue on foot, guiding their way with the night-vision scope on Doyle's rifle. When they are separated, Scarlet is ambushed and killed by Don, who attacks Andy and bites him. Tammy shoots Don and saves Andy, who remains symptom-free like his mother. The children continue to Wembley Stadium and are picked up by a reluctant Flynn, who flies them across the English Channel and out of Britain.
Another 28 days later, a group of infected run through a subway tunnel through the Palais de Chaillot towards the Eiffel Tower.
