[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2368090, member: 41816"] No one HAS to shield. It is down to every individual’s personal choice (and circumstances). Also, the reason for people still being told to mask, wash hands, leave 2 metres space and ventilate even though they have been vaccinated is pretty simple - to protect everyone [B][I]else[/I][/B]. This applies even after vaccination, and should apply until we have reached so called ‘herd immunity’. the vaccines take weeks to boost immunity (min 22 days) and won’t reach max immunity until 3 weeks after the second jab. One vaccine has been shown to reduce transmissibility by about 2/3rds (old variants). The info isn’t out on the others (on transmissibility). Most of the vaccines are reducing symptomatic cases by 70-90%, massively reducing serious cases and virtually eliminating deaths from covid. This saves the pressure on healthcare systems, but it means that some vaccinated people will contract and transmit asymptomatically. Therefore it is important that people continue to act considerately and responsibly after their own vaccines have taken effect, in order [I][B]to protect others who are still vulnerable.[/B][/I] I suspect the govt is anticipating the possibility of another rise in cases when all the ‘I’m Alright Jack’ people rush out to party, and spread infection as they do so.
