We know that the vaccines don’t give 100% protection. You can still catch the virus but unless you are are immuno-compromised for some reason, your immune system should be able to react well enough to ensure you don’t become seriously ill.

This article, which appeared in The Guardian on 27 June, puts the risk of death from Covid into perspective:

As far as I am aware, clinical trials to determine whether we shall need a programme of booster jabs are still ongoing.

It has never been claimed that the jab stops you completely from getting it, only that it is less likely, and that if you do get it, it won't be as bad as without the jab. It is still worth having it!

I know lots of people who are double jabbed who have had covid. It's as Aggie said.

That’s what the vaccine does , protects you from getting a very bad dose of Covid-19
My DIL is isolating with a slight cough , she had both jabs , she is a delicate wee soul and is so glad she had the vaccine

I go to a weekly art class, and the teacher has just emailed all his students to say that one student tested positive last week. She is a double jabber. She is not ill at present. It has made me jittery about continuing to attend! By the way, Ive also had both jabs, ages ago. Any views please ? Thanks all
