Don’t Hug Your Kids Even If You’ve Been Vaccinated, Expert Warns
🇬🇧@COVID19Up: Britons should not hug their children even once they’ve been vaccinated, an expert has stressed, amid warnings that millions are likely to begin ignoring coronavirus lockdown rules once they have had the jab.
Scientists have expressed concern that recipients of a COVID-19 vaccine will feel more relaxed about social distancing, which could “offset” the benefits of the national vaccination program.
Asked whether people who had received the jab could hug their children, Janet Lord, director of Birmingham University’s Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, said: “I would certainly advise not to do that at the moment because as you probably know with the vaccines they take several weeks before they are maximally effective."
“There is a risk that changes in behavior could offset the benefits of vaccination, particularly in the early months of vaccine rollout." SOURCE
