The point the vast majority are vaccinated (twice) comes some time after May 17. OB has fundamentally downplayed the virus since the very start favouring no restrictions at any point, questioning the viability of a vaccine and sticking to the same mantra now that we have one.
It is clearly more of a threat to our health and our economy than the flu will be and every other virus. The extent that threat remains after vaccination is unclear, but it's not a binary position between restrictions and none.
On a seperate note Tony "in the know" Blair's institute for making money is talking up a delay in easing restrictions.

Obviously he's an insider with access so I'd expect this to be Government policy after the May elections.
