As we note that a remarkable milestone has been reached in the Covid-19 vaccine programme — one that serves as a tribute to all those involved in its rollout — we must continue to take our responsibilities seriously at national, family, and personal level. 

The Government has a responsibility to aid vaccine programmes in poorer countries; parents have a duty to protect their children, and young adults have a responsibility to stay healthy and not take undue risks by refusing to be vaccinated for no good reason.
