Today's Thought...

Please remember, just because you’ve had the vaccine, does not mean it is safe to ignore the rules and guidelines. It is not known whether it will stop someone catching and passing on the virus, but we do expect it to reduce this risk. So, it is still important to follow the guidance in your local area to protect others.
