(Of course, there are lots of non-Welsh plate vehicles owned by residents, but the proportion usually...

    Not always. There are quite a number who have possible health reasons not to be vaccinated - but the advice has been poorly delivered to them. In particular, those who reacted badly, or very badly, to a single vaccine have often been left without adequate guidance despite seeking help. But the...
