the time in the building. powerful people like justices can say we can work safely, but frontline workers, everyone else has to go out and essentially risk their lives, and there are outbreaks going on everywhere. osha s job is to make workplaces are safe. you can have just a few people in the room, but if there s no ventilation, they re going to get expose and could get really sick. it struck me that these justices having no idea what real life is like, for what work is like for most people in the country. the supreme court was hearing those arguments and the incoming governor of virginia is going to join the challenge against them, and that is what he vowed to do during the campaign, hallie. the reason why it s significant coming today is because if the supreme court does make this a states rights issue, you can see what s going to happen here. where you live will depend how you experience the virus not just when it comes to mask but vaccine uptake and that s
that has not set in. we are turning a corner now and hopefully, with the pandemic. compliance has been remarkably high. there has been a lot of inequality around behaviour and we need to still support those people have been most affected, whether with mental health or inability to financially cope with the pandemic. but i think when we look back at the pandemic, the big story is one of compliance, but certainly again we are not out of the woods yet. we still need booster rates to beehive. we know vaccine uptake is influenced by public trust, so it is important we do not see these scandals continue. but we will look back in future and say, what a remarkable sense of sacrifice the british public have made. thank ou. you. the number of pupils and teachers of

when a high percentage of the population is protected through vaccination, it becomes harder for the disease to pass between people. although cases have plummeted in the last couple of years, largely due to social distancing and travel bans, the uk health security agency s concerned measles could make a comeback in the unvaccinated, when covid restrictions are fully lifted. even a small drop in vaccine uptake can lead to outbreaks occurring. and why the focus on mmr? it s because measles would be the first infection we would expect to see come back. it s like the canary in the coal mine. and once we have international travel opened up, and covid restrictions lifted, we expect measles to come back into this country, and for it to spread in those who are not fully protected with two doses of the mmr vaccine. young children can get the mmr vaccine for free on the nhs when they turn one, with a second dose offered at around the age of three and a half,
