When people go in for their flu shots, they donât normally know which company made the vaccine. But these days it is hard to find anyone who is not familiar with the brand name of their Covid-19 jabs. In fact, some individuals even have strong preferences about which one theyâd like to get.
For them, there is some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that they donât get to choose. The vaccination process is not so much an individual act as a collective strategy to protect the entire population â particularly its most vulnerable members.

The Spanish government has ruled out for now canceling flights from the United Kingdom despite fears over a new, more contagious strain of the coronavirus in the country. On Sunday, several European countries, including Germany, Italy and France, announced a temporary halt on passenger flights arriving from the UK in a bid to stop the mutant strain of coronavirus crossing their borders. The Spanish government, however, did not follow suit, and instead called for a joint response from the European Union. While it awaits this response, the government announced that controls at airports and ports will be strengthened to ensure that all arrivals from the UK have a negative coronavirus test result.
