IMMUNITY

Post vaccination contagion

Post vaccine contagion

Prof Jonathan Van-Tam

Could still pass the virus on to others

Should continue following all rules, zero behavioural change

Carry on as if you have the virus

You could still be spreading the virus

Do not yet know the impact of the vaccine on transmission

No vaccine has ever been 100% effective

Possible to contract the virus, 2 to 3 weeks after vaccination

Better to allow at least three weeks in older people

Transmission possible after 2 doses

British Medical Association

Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine

Twelve weeks policy, difficult to justify

Reduced gap to six weeks

Prof Van-Tam
