Question on vaccination

[QuietBatPeople1]

If the government is happy to hold off vaccinating the under 40s for a while but happy to open everything up, does this mean that they (no underlying conditions) don’t really need the vaccines?
Or are the under 40s the collateral for economic and political reasons?

It was never the under 40s with Covid that were putting pressure on the NHS or contributing in huge numbers to the death rates. That is how I understand it anyway.

I know 99% of covid deaths are groups 1-9 which is 50+:and the specified health conditions. I don't know about long covid figures though.

They're not holding off vaccinating the under 40s. They'll be vaccinated by the end of July as planned.

Vaciination time estimates have been getting shorted over time as they progress
On a daily basis my estimated date would come ins day forward per day passed, and I was invited a week before the last prediction

Next stages after those in their 50s has only recently been announced, so a one month postponement due to a predicted supply shortage is a ‘minor’ change, and each age group will continue to be handled by priority

The reopening schedule is a slightly different matter, noting that the dates are provisional and subject to confirmation at each stage that the criteria continue to be met (the 4 tests)

If the postponement has a knock on effect and cases/hospitalisations increase etc then reopening dates will change
