I appreciate people are focussed on 'freedom day' but these regulations are really significant - the first time in law that vaccinated people have been given greater rights than non-vaccinated people.
So from 16 August, only un-vaccinated adults will have to self-isolate

Remember that the self-isolation rules (which are generally triggered by notification from NHS Test & Trace) are more draconian than the strictest lockdown we have had. Don't even allow leaving the house for exercise. They are a kind of hyper-localised lockdown.
The self-isolation rules have rarely been focus of people's attention but they are onerous - and health data from NHS Test & Trace can be shared with police (this is explicitly provided for) who can enforce with fixed penalty notices which begin at £1,000 legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1045…
Reason these are delayed by a month are, as far as I can tell, so every adult has had opportunity to get vaccinated. Children can't so they are being excluded from self-isolation.
But from Aug 16th anyone not 14 days post 2nd vaccine will be still subject to self-isolation

If you have not already got the vaccination, this seems a very good reason (amongst others) to go and get it right away so that you can (just about) be covered by 16 August
