Director of Public Health in Brmingham has said that if vaccinations go exactly to plan and all of the first priority groups are vaccinated within the time frame we will return to a toughened up tier system by the end of Feb with further easing of restrictions in July/August.

Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to meet with state premiers on Tuesday to discuss a probable extension of the current lockdown — which is set to end on January 10.

Also worth bearing in mind this will only be the most at risk so 15m of the 25m priority people for vaccinations. I believe this first 15m could cut up to 90% of the deaths. After these first immunisations they will all have to be immunised again 12 weeks following which will probably mean a...
