As well as resuming vaccinations, Europe needs to ramp up their rate of vaccination to a similar rate as the UK otherwise they may well have to cope with a 4th spike next winter.
Sounds good, and hopefully with having both covid jabs, re-entry to the UK will be no problem.
Don't want to be a pedant but which countries are refusing the covid vaccines?
The Goverment has said hopefully things "might" be de restricted, " inside" the Uk , but bringing ourselfs and maybe carvans Boats etc, will be due to restrictions.
It's important that everyone sticks with the new restrictions rather than get "demob happy" and throw caution to the wind.
One of the key things is how the resumption of schooling affects infection rates. Last year as L1 started to ease pupils were mainly out of school except for key workers. Also for L3 many more adults are back at work in factories and offices. In our area cases have reduced significantly but have not yet gone down as low as when L1 was being eased despite vaccination progress. The gap of 4+1 week between lockdown relaxation measures gives time for the effect of each measure to be assessed. Hopefully the Government will hold its nerve and assess the results of each measure before going to the next, as there are still a large number of unvaccinated people that even with a lower probability of death can be adversely affected, and who would drain NHS resources which need to be refocused on the normal medical conditions that affect the population.
It’s actually individual countries that make the decisions on who to vaccinate and what with. The. EMA which was based in London is now in Amsterdam and makes its recommendations but nations have sovereignty over health matters. Hence the French about turn on OAZ vaccine.
