Chris Whitty at Downing Street coronavirus press briefing

Sally from Oxfordshire asks if vaccinated individuals can mix with others who have been vaccinated. Chris explains that while vaccines are effective, initial protection is low and increases over time. Despite vaccination, there is still a risk of contracting the virus, especially as many people remain unvaccinated. Current data shows significant virus presence, particularly in London. To mitigate risks, it's crucial to vaccinate at-risk individuals, administer second doses, and reduce virus rates by staying home and limiting outings. Until rates drop and more people are vaccinated, caution is advised.
