Happy to have a jab but not yet. Waiting for it to be doled out then see how effective it is first.

Unfortunately whoever runs T & T it will only ever be as effective if people checking into venues give their correct contact details., this is not always the case!!

It's not just that a significant number of people won't take up the jab, but nobody knows whether it will even work and for how long.

Apparently we will still need test and trace after the vaccine because many people won’t take up the jab.

£15 billion are about to be poured into this system. I expect that the public enquiries into this mismanagement will go on for years.

The huge amount of public money that's been wasted on the private companies, some of whom haven't had any experience of dealing with something like this is a national scandal.

Unfortunately, the Tory ideology of privatisation comes before human lives.

This is our only life line until a suitable vaccine is found, and even after it may be necessary.

The current contract should be immediately suspended and the whole thing given over to those with experience, like local authorities along with the NHS.
