"This month Gibraltar’s health minister snapped a photo from her first dinner out in months, showing two glasses of red wine sitting prominently on the table and a face mask cast off in the background. “Operation freedom begins,” tweeted Samantha Sacramento alongside the photo.
Operation Freedom, the name given to Gibraltar’s vaccination programme, is now closing in on its target: in the coming days the British overseas territory will become one of the first places in the world where every willing resident over the age of 16 has been fully vaccinated.
“It’s pretty much mission accomplished,” said Sacramento. “It does feel much better, much easier and as if we’re getting back to normal.”
More than 90% of Gibraltar’s 33,000 residents have now had two doses of the vaccine. Save for the 3% or so who declined the jab, the rest are expected to receive their second dose in the coming days, igniting hopes that the territory can turn the page on a pandemic that has killed 94 residents and infected more than 4,200."

Even higher rate than Israel, now this is the place to watch - in theory even 90% should have been enough, but if they get to 97%, then it surely will be like in the good old days (plus some social distancing with strangers).
