We don’t want to declare victory prematurely because we still have a ways to go

But the more and more people that can get vaccinated, as a community, the community will be safer and safer

Rates still high in unvaccinated population

More global cases in 2021 than in all of 2020

there’s always a danger of variants emerging and diminishing somewhat the effectiveness of our vaccines

B.1.617.2, while at different frequencies in different regions,

was rapidly increasing across all of England

Now, we have a highly transmissible variant,

capable of a significant level of escape from vaccines – especially after a single dose

leading to exponential rise in cases in many areas

Currently fully vaccinated, 38.1%
