This will be different for each vaccine too, so it won't necessarily be a case of 'are you vaccinated or not?' but it might be that one vaccine isn't effective against a new variant but all others are (to stress - I'm suggesting a scenario, we don't yet know exactly how effective the existing vaccines are against current variants, and we don't know what other variants might emerge). They're also not sure to what extent the vaccines affect how easily the virus can be transmitted. I had my updated shielding email which clearly says any shielding advice is advice only, not law. It is therefore your choice whether you shield if you're deemed CEV, but you must still follow the lockdown restrictions.</blockquote>
