Question for folks below 30 - do you feel comfortable traveling to a central London office without being fully vaccinated? Given NHS rollout of vaccine was based on age groups, a lot of young folks are still not fully vaccinated. I have seen things opening up and slowly expectations are rising of getting back to office and office social events this month or next. Thoughts?

No, not comfortable. Avoided the virus for 17 months so I’m not going to go in to london to catch the delta pro max variant. Managed to move my second jab forward to first week of August. So close now.

Not Delta Pro Max 😂😂😂😂

A lot of the senior folks have been vaccinated for more than a couple months and are happy to rejoin the office. I feel bad for a 25 year old analyst who is yet to receive first dose or waiting for second dose.

Sort of. I have my first jab already, but a close friend just fell ill with COVID (also first jabbed) and an irrational part of my mind is more worried now. I have a history of getting pretty bad pneumonia every other year so I’m not going to risk it until at least after my second jab.

Since rules will be relaxed, cases will rise and young folks who are not vaccinated will be susceptible.

Yes. Everyone in my social group has already been exposed to large groups of people in pubs, restaurants etc. so I don’t see it being much of a problem.

Doing it literally right now. If you aren’t comfortable don’t come though. You may be able to avoid exposure within the office, but as soon as you’re out of that environment all bets are off (eg. Tube etc)

Went on the central last week and it was like the pandemic never happened (but with more masks)

likehelpful

Yes. Have been out and about as soon as each new type of event has opened up. 28, have had one dose. 80+% of my friends have had covid already anyway.

My office has been open on an optional basis for months now (full return planned for Sept) and it's basically all younger people. I go most days.

I'm.not comfortable and I won't be coming in as soon as restrictions are lifted completely until I've had my 2nd jab. These restrictions do make sense and I'm not keen on being on a busy train full of ppl with no masks on

like

Yes, been going in since Feb (public sector project), only got my first dose recently.

There are no excuses for anyone to not have their first jab by now.

I try to avoid during peak hours but as others have mentioned it seems no more risky than the pub/other busy locations. I have had covid and had 1 vaccine so I feel relatively safe
