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.
Stay safe and well... The light is beginning to show itself...
