No vaccine can prevent you from becoming
infected, because vaccination does not stop you breathing in virus laden aerosols, or touching an infected surface and then touching your eyes or nose afterwards.
But a vaccine should improve the
probability of your having a less serious outcome if you are infected.
It has been reported that The Queen and Prince Philip have now been vaccinated. No doubt someone will moan about them jumping the queue, but they both must be in the top priority group due to their ages.
The vaccines were administered on Saturday by a household doctor at Windsor Castle, a royal source says.
