The vacination is not 100% some may not get as good cover as others especially in the older age groups
I now know a few who have picked it up after vacination but mainly in younger age groups under 60 they have been fine with mild symptoms if any at all

My stepdaughter is a doctor in intensive care. She told her father that of the seven patients in her covid ward six were unvaccinated and one was someone who had had a transplant some while ago, so his immune system was compromised

I saw something on one of the news channels this morning regarding a high number of over 60’s in hospital in Scotland with Covid. It said the majority had been fully vaccinated. Is this correct? If so, it’s frightening to think this Delta variant could ‘beat’ the vaccine.

I do have a friend in her mid 50’s with Covid but she said she felt fine apart from losing her sense of taste and smell. Her 21 yr old son, however, has been very poorly. She’s fully vaccinated and remarked on the difference it makes so this news about over 60’s in Scotland has caused me concern.
