A SENIOR figure at Dorset County Hospital insists people must continue to follow social distancing rules and wear face coverings, even if they have received the Covid-19 vaccine.
Coronavirus cases across Dorset have continued to fall during March and more than 330,000 Covid-19 vaccine jabs have been given across the county.
People who receive one or two jabs of the Covid-19 vaccine are still told to follow social distancing measures and wear masks, with all social restrictions to be lifted no earlier than Monday, June 21.
While the guidance has led to confusion from some vaccinated people, Professor Alastair Hutchison, chief medical officer at Dorset County Hospital, explained that the population must develop herd immunity against coronavirus and jabs continue to be given before the restriction on social contact is lifted.
