We're only beginning to see the vaccine rollout in the UK, but we can begin to think about what may happen as time goes on.
In the near term, I expect many those who have been vaccinated will feel like they don't need to follow precautions anymore. What they don't consider is that they may still be responsible for transmission of Covid from one person to another. Perhaps like Trump, the attitude will be "that's their problem."
The other thing I haven't heard addressed yet is that there isn't necessarily a reason to believe this will be a one-time thing. In other words, those who have been vaccinated, and even those who have had Covid, are likely to need to get vaccinated in the future, since the immunity will last only so long, and this virus acts like it will be around for awhile, especially considering its worldwide distribution.
