Current vaccination of the more vulnerable groups is being hit by very poor uptake amongst the target groups.

Can't find anything to back this up, although I did find that ethnic groups are not quite as keen to take the vaccination? 

Vaccination deployment and communications have led to increases in both positive vaccine sentiment and vaccine uptake over time, but there are variances by ethnic group that could leave some populations more vulnerable to COVID-19.

Vaccine confidence (positive sentiment) has increased and the majority of people say they have already been vaccinated, or would be likely to accept a vaccine. Confidence is lowest among people in the Black ethnic group (at 70%), although there has been a substantial increase since December 2020.

Got my booster on Thursday, no side effects at all...............no sore arm, no tiredness, nothing.

5 years ago today the tragic lock down was announced. 

A terrible time, so much damage to businesses and people. 

Hope we never see the like again. 😔

Tonight on BBC1, "Love and LOss: The Pandemic 5 years on

A look back by those, and I'm sure most people will have lost family or friends, bereaved by Covid.

Still painful and hard to forget what happened to many who suffered but mainly suffered in silence.
