In people under 65, where the vaccine efficacy is 80% and only 0.1% to 0.3% of the population a day is vaccinated, between 47 and 26 deaths per 100,000 people could be averted.

That is delaying it to vaccinate more people. Like we have been doing. The evidence is now even more YAY than ever.

Scotland focused on getting the elderly and most vulnerable 2 vaccines. That's why we are being in age range.

They said in England a high number (can't remember the exact number)of carers either refused or didn't show up to be vaccinated. Bit concerning.

I don't think those looking after the elderly and vulnerable should be unvaccinated
