I think it's good news but the good news headlines will have unintended consequences in terms of people bothering to take it seriously any more.
I think it will have the opposite effect in all honesty, many people will say actually we are not going to risk Christmas as the likelihood is many of the very vulnerable will be vaccinated by Easter
