People less likely to adhere to Covid rules after vaccination, expert says Mattha Busby © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Anadolu Agency/Getty Images People may be less likely to adhere to coronavirus lockdown rules after getting vaccinated, a leading behavioural scientist has said. Prof Susan Michie, the director of UCL’s Centre for Behaviour Change, cited evidence from previous vaccine rollouts, recent national surveys suggesting people would be less likely to abide by the rules, and evidence from Israel, which has the highest Covid vaccination rate in the world, indicating this may be the case. “The concern is that as the vaccination programme rolls out and more people are getting vaccinated themselves and seeing other people in their community getting vaccinated, that people may drop their guard,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
