Vaud opens vaccine to everyone over 18

Canton Vaud has opened up vaccinations to those over 18 years old. In a press release the canton says the increased delivery is allowing the opening up of the age groups.

So far over 80% of those at risk have been fully vaccinated and more than half between the ages of 65-74. 

The vaccination rate is one of the criteria being used by the federal government when deciding on lockdown easing.
