“Evidence to date shows those who are not vaccinated are 10 times more likely to die from Covid-19 if they contract the virus, especially those over 50. By vaccinating you increase your chance of recovering by 99%, guaranteed,” it said. “There is also some evidence that being vaccinated will make it less likely you will pass on the virus to others, which means your decision to get the vaccine also protects those around you.”
