Speaking to Parliament, Bob asked the Minister for Care to ensure that people understand the process by which they should go for a test. He stresses that many people are assuming they can walk in to centre without phoning ahead to book a test, or even going on the website to make sure of the correct advice before they turn up. This is made all the more confusing as in some cases people are literally walking in and getting a test, whereas others are being turned away.
He further expressed concern about advising people that one jab will be sufficient and that they should wait 12 weeks for the next jab, as this will lead to much confusion. He believes that one of the problems of this is that people can still carry covid-19 and infect others, even after they have had a vaccine. He insisted to the Minister for Care the need to be clear on that position so that people do not go out and inadvertently cause further infections and transmissions.
