Sounds like a lovely afternoon!
There's some plans for going back to the office on rotation from July on. But I don't think my company is going to offer vaccinations to its employees (larger companies in Germany will). So I doubt everyone will be vaccinated by then or even have had their first shot.
I think my former company was planning on offering vaccinations to its employees *sigh* |
I read that the WHO said all vaccines have an effect against the Indian variant which is good news - although I would imagine it will vary from vaccine to vaccine.
Of the people hospitalised with the Indian variant in the last few weeks, many were either unvaccinated (through choice) or had only 1 dose. Apparently some areas have had many people who did not realise how important it was to return for their 2nd but also of course we have this big 3 month spacing between doses.
Ah that sucks your former employer is offering doses to employees. Hoping you can get yours soon if they are taking priority off. It seems Germany are vaccinating in a very different way to UK. We are still strictly age based, and over 35s only so far. I feel so sorry for the young who are waiting so long.
Do you have to have vaccination before you return to your office?
