@Tommy, As of today UK after 2 months and a week 21 million had their first vaccine and a million their second Jab. calculating on that basis by June more than 70% will have at least one shot. Also there is the 4th vaccine which is a single shot vaccine, plus many more in the pipeline. Lack of availability of vaccine was/is the main reason for people not getting the jab. I believe by June Spain or at least Mallorca could catch up with vaccination.
UK is no where near 70 percent yet and won't be till late June at best. Mallorca has only around 27000 ! people fully vaccinated to date. out of approx 1.2 million people. why risk months of hard lock downs in the UK , Germany , Spain etc etc , for the sake of some individuals who think life is only about holidays, holidays holidays....and then later moan about new lock downs and harder restrictions then inevitably to come back again end Summer early Autumn if the measures and restrictions are loosened too quickly .
Malllorca needs up its own vaccine program before uk and the rest of Europe come to malllorca for their holidays
For once a Labour MP is talking sense. Cooper is 100% right.
Not surprise, Labour likes to spread doom and gloom. If 70% of people in UK are vaccinated and those can travel why shouldn't they? otherwise we might just as well through the vaccines out, no point in having it if it is not going to change anything. As long as Balaerics gov speed up vaccination a safe corridor should open between UK and Mallorca.
