To ask of you'll hug your older relatives when they've had the vaccine

If it could be Autumn at the earliest that low risk groups will get the vaccine, and you are a low risk individual, will you wait a few weeks for your older relatives' vaccines to kick in and then hug them, even though we don't yet know the effect of vaccine on transmission?

Yanbu - yes I'll hug them
Yabu - no I won't hug them

No, there's a law against it, and it's an actual law that makes a difference to spread, if you want this, campaign to get the law changed to allow it.

If we were only preventing spread to people who are more likely to be ill, the harm caused to the rest of the population would be significantly reduced.

Yes you and your parents need to be able to hug, but so do two teenagers, or six year olds, or a new relationship.
