BLM – JABS FOR JOBS – COVID VACCINES AND EL/PL CONSIDERATIONS

Author - Chris Fletcher

At the date of writing, there are three COVID vaccines licensed for use in the UK, offering the only realistic exit from a cycle of tightening and loosening restrictions on everyday life. First to be licensed was the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, followed by the Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine and more recently the Moderna vaccine. There has been much press reporting of a number of surveys which suggest that voluntary take-up of the vaccine may be lower – in fact much lower – than the level which the scientific community would regard as providing broad coverage across the country, and the UK government has indicated that it has no intention of making vaccination mandatory.
