The 5.8million Brits who have had the coronavirus vaccine must continue to follow social distancing rules, the deputy chief medical officer for England has warned.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said it was still not known if people who had been vaccinated could still pass on the virus to others.
He warned the millions who have received the jab must keep following the social distancing rules or risk prolonging lockdown restrictions.
He added if the vaccinated begin to ease social distancing rules because they are protected they are potentially putting at risk those further down the priority list who still need inoculation.
