And the thought for today is...
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.
