can two people who have had the vaccine meet

The rules and advice stays the same for those who had it.
They are not immune from catching it and if they have it, they can still be infectious to others, though probably not as infectious as if they hadn't had the vaccine |

. That will always be the case forever more. However i’m pretty sure once vaccinated most oeople will quickly return to as near normal life as they can. The bedwetters can wring there hands and rant but it will happen. |

"Just wondering if two people who have had the vaccine can they meet after lockdown obviously x.
I don't see why not. They've both been vaccinated. "
Because the vaccine doesn't stop either of you from contracting or transmitting the virus. It mitigates the severity of it within you, but remember, you and the person you meet will still be capable of transmitting it to others you come into contact with in your daily lives (who may not have the benefit of the vaccine yet). It also takes 2 to 3 weeks after your jab for the body to reach full protection, so until then you're not out of risk of severe symptoms. |

No
You can’t still meet
Because even though they go on about vaccine they not enough data on if it even prevents you from catching it or spreading it
That’s the problem they not tested it long enough
So this vaccine they go on about not been thru the proper test |

Does beggers belief
When adults have to ask what the Legislation is regarding meeting others is.
Just where have these people been. Surely OP this is a wind up right ?
When you need to ask on a swingers forum (bearing in mind that quite a few are ignoring the rules and meeting anyway)
Is it ok to meet. 
Don't worry about the science path. Some of the experts on here, will lead down another path ( socially distanced of course) it is that other well know path, called the garden path.
Good luck.

As I understand it. The vaccine gives you no protection against contracting the virus. It gives you no protection from passing it on. You may be carrying the virus but have no symptoms and no awareness of this fact and at the same time infecting others. |

For now... no you can't meet up even if you have had the vaccine.
There has been a few glimmers of hope as there is now data to suggest that the vaccine does both help stop transmission and it does help stop you catching it... but the main thing it does is reduce symptoms to a level that should mean you dont get really sick with it.
It's too early to lift restrictions and most people have not had 2 doses of the vaccine as yet |

This 
And to add to what you’ve said, most people have only received the first jab ( 1 dose)
You need a second dose to further reduce your chances of severe symptoms. |

It’s a real worry that the message and understanding of what the vaccine actually does and the protection that it offers as is obviously not understood by many people. The vaccine is not a cure for the disease that can kill you (and others) if you have it and pass it on! Eg continue the spread.
How is it that we can still be asking the question s can we meet, can we travel ? etc . Answers include ‘don’t see why not’. Education understanding and some common sense are required and double quick. |

Yeah saw the same on a thread yesterday. And as much as we find it unbelievable the thread can either be from an attention seeker or genuinely people don't have anywhere near enough understanding. As in all things education and communication is everything. I've said for a long time that we need a comms strategy to take away the need for these questions.
TV, radio, mail drop, text, social media, bus stops etc... Just get it done. |

I have literally slapped my forehead so many times in past days... one of my own family members came into contact with someone with the virus ( who had ‘a cold ‘- runny nose sore throat) and still went for a socially distanced walk with my family member... then tests positive. The infected person works in a supermarket as a manager and has continued to work ‘with the cold’ (prior to check). So now my family member is in isolation awaiting test... but it gets worse... she had taken a car trip with her mum who works in a school and when told of the possible infection still decided to go in to work as it was last day and even when I explained the situation and reasoning she said she understood and then promptly went shopping for my elderly mum who’s had the 1st dose vaccine ‘ so is totally protected’. Is it lack of understanding? Unclear guidelines? Or just plain old stupidly/no common sense? |

And what about the experts who say different to SAGE ? Plenty of professors and professionals have differing opinions and strategies, yet these get ignored and branded as dangerous. There also seems to be this idea that the law is infallible and everything must be obeyed, yet again there's a plethora of information as to why these laws are more harmful than helpful, so why do we believe in politicians "truth" and not other professionals who are better versed in this field?
It's not wrong to question the establishment, its necessary and by not questioning them we open up a dangerous can of worms. |

I did a post about 3 weeks back on this had a runny nose and tested positive. Luckily I got a test early to protect my work coleges but as pointed out a runny nose is not on the NHS list so it dose not count
That post got stoped by admin for fake news |

I think it's some or all of what you say, plus twisting the rules or feigning ignorance to suit our own needs. |

Herd immunity.
The studies indicate that vaccines reduce transmission, to the extent it's been studied.
If enough people are protected and reduce transmission, then Covid becomes a problem like measles (which is only a problem when herd immunity is jeopardised). |

This is exactly how the virus spreads.
Some people just don’t take it seriously - which is sad. |

The first dose only gets you to 65% resistant (after 3 weeks). But you can still spread it to others.
It's not going to be until the vast majority of the population have had the 2nd dose that gets you to 90% resistant that social distancing will ease.
Anybody trying to rush things before that is clueless prat with no common sense or social conscience. |

Having the vaccine doesn’t allow you to see other people ‘at the moment’ while we are still in lockdown.
Once a good size of the population is vaccinated, restrictions will be eased to allow some interaction with others. |

Before calling people clueless, it's worth noting that the gov.uk website is saying that the first dose is around 90% as opposed to your quote of just 65%.

Depends on the vaccine. I'm not sure of the specifics of each vaccine, but one dose reduces some and two more (where it's been studied).
Regardless, a person has not been fully vaccinated until two doses plus 2-3 weeks. Extremely few people are in this position. We need a sizeable proportion of the population in that position before things might be safe again. |

The post was inaccurate. A simple search of gov data will give you proper answers. Pfizer is 90%, astra is 70%, first paragraph of the publication. By all means have a debate, but let's get the facts right before the scaremongering stats. |

The vaccine doesn’t stop you contracting, spreading or suffering from the virus.
What it does is greatly lessen your risk of dying.
This is first hand from my neighbour, who is a GP, got vaccinated, and still got it. |

I don't trust the government, you're the ones who said that's the data to go by.
I don't know how to translate it to the wider population, but I sought out science communicators last year. Personally I listen to them.
My "listening to the government" for the last nine months or more has been a weekly flick through the BBC homepage to see if any laws have changed (because knowing laws I have to obey is my responsibility, even if I think they're full of shit). |

If once having had the vaccine and if hypothetically it protected you 100%. You can still pass on the virus in the simple act of picking it up from a door handle or a shopping-trolley or a billion other ways and passing it to someone who hasn't yet had a vaccination.
Until the majority do then it really would be irresponsible to start meeting just because you think you and the person you are meeting are fine.

The ONS data is pretty infallible, even the non sage experts recognise it as gold standard, but the problem is how its delivered and who delivers it.
The law is an absolute sham, created by politicians who are completely out of touch with modern society. Ethics and common sense are all but gone in society as a means of governance, and people are now duped into trusting politicians and their ridiculous laws. I don't suggest that anyone breaks the law, but I do think people need to have a right to oppose the thinking behind them. |

Yes, I trust the ONS. I don't think it's infallible - nothing is - but I trust that it's of an acceptable standard.
What the law is and how one should proceed is a question of individual morality and ethics, to a point, and judgement of the situation. I don't think most people are equipped to make decisions on this scale (I'll include most politicians in this, given the mess they've made). I behave cautiously based on the evidence I see, and in line with the law (because I've got no interest in a record, not because I necessarily agree with it). |

The vaccines were tested for the most important and easiest thing: preventing severe disease and death. They do that really well (for the original, variants change things).
For some vaccines, they've gone back and looked to see if it stops you catching and spreading the virus. (My understanding is that most vaccines do not stop you catching things, they stop you getting sick and in most cases reduce or remove transmission risk)
The data so far shows that the vaccines tested (not all of them yet) reduce how much you can spread it.
If we get enough people vaccinated, then the risk plummets. That's what we need to aim for. (I don't know what percentage that is) |

Blame Batman and Robin. Johnson and Hancock. For not speaking in clear English. With clarity. Implying that one is protected after having the vaccine. Some people may think they are being immunized. Some people may think the vaccine is the same as immunization. It is not. After the vaccine nothing changes. Before the vaccine you had a very slight chance of contracting the disease. After vaccine the chance of contracting the disease us even slighter.
I think we should stop using the term Covid 19 and call it what it is. A disease. Covid 19 is too friendly and cuddly a term to use.
It is a disease. It is the disease. |

It's not going to be until the vast majority of the population have had the 2nd dose that gets you to 90% resistant that social distancing will ease.
Anybody trying to rush things before that is clueless prat with no common sense or social conscience.
Before calling people clueless, it's worth noting that the gov.uk website is saying that the first dose is around 90% as opposed to your quote of just 65%.

That's what a Doctor involved with the vaccination program said in a live interview on breakfast news yesterday morning. I trust him more than the government website. They haven't reacted quick enough or hard enough since this started. |

Turn it in. A doctor on TV is a better source than ONS data ?
No doubt that that the govt have been woeful, but it was the ONS data that actually showed Ferguson and co to be inadequate in the first place.

Those guys in third world countries most likely will not get any vaccine this year so plenty of time for the virus to mutate few more times. By the end of the year the vaccine could even become useless, better stay safe than be sorry. The government wants to end the lockdown because it run out of money not because is safe. Listen to the science. |

The vaccine is a two dose treatment, it's not 100% (because nothing is), and it takes time to work (2-3 weeks). |

"My dad got the vaccine 2 weeks ago then was tested on Monday and now has cov-19 so I’m thinking the vaccine doesn’t work "
I'm sorry to hear that, but the vaccine takes 2-3 weeks to build up antibodies 1st fose, and same again 2nd dose to maximum potential. It could be your dad contracted it before his antibodies had built up, it doesn't mean the vaccine isn't working. As has been said countless times now, the vaccine doesn't prevent you from catching it, it helps mitigate the severity, hence the need to remain cautious. |

As said previously the vaccine doesn’t stop you catching the disease but it reduces its severity and stops you needing hospitalisation. |

Despite government hype only 1% of adults have so far been vaccinated. The 15m we hear so much about have only received the first dose. They are not yet vaccinated and it will be some time before they are. |

Nope. It will be when around 75% of the adult population have been vaccinated.
Which will probably be around late summer time. |

"Just wondering if two people who have had the vaccine can they meet after lockdown obviously x.
Absolutely NOT.
They can still catch and spread the virus
Is this really True. I have heard it also. So the vaccine doesn't work or is it just a low percentage it's not effective for
The vaccines were tested for the most important and easiest thing: preventing severe disease and death. They do that really well (for the original, variants change things).
For some vaccines, they've gone back and looked to see if it stops you catching and spreading the virus. (My understanding is that most vaccines do not stop you catching things, they stop you getting sick and in most cases reduce or remove transmission risk)
The data so far shows that the vaccines tested (not all of them yet) reduce how much you can spread it.
If we get enough people vaccinated, then the risk plummets. That's what we need to aim for. (I don't know what percentage that is)"
Thanks for the info Much Appreciated |

Probably not legally but in reality of course they will. The more people feel safe in themselves the less they will worry about everything and everybody else. When you give your kids the mmr jab you don’t keep them at honn MN e it’s the basic point of a vaccine. |

I have to say I'm quite shocked, that after 12 months of 7 by 24 news feeds and this forum that at times goes into great detail, that there is still so much lack of understanding of what this vaccine does and doesn't do, and how the infection spreads and mutates. When I see some of them my natural response is its just rhetorical questions to stir things up but as this thread has developed it would seem there are quite a few people who have little understanding of the situation. And so if that's the case, you have to think there is a need for more and better education, communication and sharing of relevant information. If people genuinely don't understand we just have to be patient and try our best to explain better. |

We have flu injections every year - maybe more will do that in coming years - for the foreseeable future having a covid vax may/will become the norm too.

Would have thought the obvious answer is yes. Otherwise what the hell is the point of it.
The more pertinant question is when. As implied by the OP, not until after lockdown is lifted and even then it'll be with imposed conditions for quite some time, probably all the way through till Christmas.

Well thats a bit of a sweeping statement. It may or may not be true.
Vaccine programmes can & have eradicated certain viruses. If vaccination never stopped you catching it, this wouldnt happen.
But it's all relative. And the experts are not entirely sure. But as you say if you do catch it the hope is your immune system will come on line much quicker. This should reduce your viral load making it less likely you'll spread it too.
What has been stated over and over, is that you remain at risk at least until around three weeks after the first dose, when the risk reduces, but maximum protection is not afforded until some time after the second dose. For the vulnerable, at the very least you should remain shielding until after the second dose.

No, which basically means there's no clue whatsover the vaccines do anything at all..

Clearly yes, I mean obviously we have no idea if vaccines work, ever! & here is the government wasting time, money & resources putting a non working vaccine (or 3) into people’s bodies, whilst advising us to keep safe, I mean what are they thinking? |

I'm confused. I thought vaccines were to reduce the spread of the virus.
If it's not doing what it's supposed to do why are we vaccinating nearly half a million people daily?
Perhaps I'm just a bit thick?? |

Discredited? They are all respected and peer reviewed professionals at the very top of their field.
I can only assume that you are going to cite the W.H.O. as the discreditors, the same outfit who have been bent over and shafted by the Chinese govt, then reported highly dubious and conflicting reports regarding the virus origin.

Why are we still not seeing that if we still can’t meet once we’ve both had the jab when can we
A lot of us are not questioning this just being lead like sheep
So once we’ve both had the jabs we should be able to meet
But the real reason they say no is because they not got a clue about the vaccine and it’s not a vaccine it’s a treatment
Because like all vaccine it takes years to do all test not 10 month
Now we’re getting told it might be a sessional thing
I’m not an anti Vaxer but I hate listening to people go on about thing no one knows about coz all they go on about vaccine vaccine now your getting vaccinated nothing changes
Wake up it doesn’t make sense to me
You can’t stop Virus we need live with it |

1. The vaccine is not a cure.
2. A vaccine program takes time to have an effect.
3. The effect gets greater as more people become injected..or acquire antibodies by infection.
4. Acquiring antibodies by infection may not have a favorable outcome.
5. For the hard of understanding that means you may die or have long term consequences.
6. It is impossible to inject a population on one day.
7. As it is impossible then some restrictions remain in place until sufficient numbers are vaccinated.
8. The government is keen to get business & the economy going, random swingers shagging probably does not feature on their priority list.
Is that clearer? |

I agree up to a point, but can you imagine the backlash now if the local authorities came round fitting hasps and padlocks to the doors, locking residents in their own homes? |

Shrug. I personally have not quoted him at any point ever, but if he's on the side of the scientific consensus then that's where I'm going to go. |

Yes but it would be service using those little padlocks you get on diaries or free in Christmas crackers..

"1. The vaccine is not a cure.
2. A vaccine program takes time to have an effect.
3. The effect gets greater as more people become injected..or acquire antibodies by infection.
4. Acquiring antibodies by infection may not have a favorable outcome.
5. For the hard of understanding that means you may die or have long term consequences.
6. It is impossible to inject a population on one day.
7. As it is impossible then some restrictions remain in place until sufficient numbers are vaccinated.
8. The government is keen to get business & the economy going, random swingers shagging probably does not feature on their priority list.
Is that clearer?"

No, if one is still a carrier he or she can still infect a vaccinated person who won't fall badly ill but could inturn pass it on. The vaccine only surpresses the virus so it's host doesn't fall fataly ill and immunity is stronger than before...hopefully. It does not irradicate the virus. |

"You can do whatever the hell you like
Does this apply to all laws, or just Covid related laws?"
all laws just because its legal doesn't make it right and just because its illegal doesn't make it wrong. Sla-very was legal once |

It was that nugget that I thought could be expanded on. |

Yes, he did.
As an ordinary person I recognise that the law applies to me.
As a compassionate intelligent person I realise Covid laws exist for good reason.
As a decent person I aim to live by slightly more elevated morals than Matt Hancock ffs |

"Just wondering if two people who have had the vaccine can they meet after lockdown obviously x.
I don't see why not. They've both been vaccinated. "
But they still catch and transmit without actually suffer the effects of covid so NO! Not yet.... |

"The rules and advice stays the same for those who had it.
They are not immune from catching it and if they have it, they can still be infectious to others, though probably not as infectious as if they hadn't had the vaccine "
That can't be right. After both having the vaccine they are no further forward. So if vaccine passports are required by the airline for example, no passport no flight, the possibility of contracting Covid is he same. And everybody sat close together on an aircraft for hours and hours. Surely one must be protected by the vaccine. Otherwise why have the vaccine. |

The chances are lower, but not low enough until we're closer to herd immunity |
