After vaccination, if the virus gets into our body, our immune system remembers what to do and produces antibodies to fight it. This means the infection doesn’t get a chance to take hold and we are immune to the virus. Vaccination means we can stimulate this immunity without becoming unwell with the disease in the first place. Since the start of August 2020 we have handled more than one million phone calls to our dedicated helpline. Anyone aged over 75 and receiving Pension Credit is eligible for a free TV Licence, paid for by the BBC.
