Healthcare workers in England have been told to reschedule appointments for the second dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech covid-19 vaccine after the government’s advisory committee decided that vaccinating as many people as possible with a first dose should be the priority. https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4978No idea if this'll made a difference to the efficacy of the vaccine but it does seem like an odd decision Why does it seem an odd decision? It will enable the quicker roll out of protection to the most vulnerable? So far 20% of the 80+ have been vaccinated. Rationale for the change. https://m.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.com%2Fs%2Fuwwn2dv4o2d0ena726gf4403f3p2acnu

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

It will annoy people who were meant to get the 2nd dose but will hopefully save more lives.

Pfizer are actively discouraging the policy and saying there is no proof of efficacy with a single dose, so a little concerning. If the efficacy is indeed 70% then it makes complete sense.

Agreed it is a little concerning and they don't have proof but they have years of experience with other vaccines, see link. https://twitter.com/sandyddouglas/status/1344949269535608832?s=19

He’s had the first jab and is now petrified it wont be effective by the time 12 weeks is up. Keep telling him not to google stuff but he wont listen

He should look on the bright side, my old man is 83 and still hasn't heard a sausage about getting the first jab.

Do they think kids are immune or don't transmit the infection? What's the point of any measures/lockdowns if you are only going to do half a job? Ridiculous.

Infection rates where we are (NE Hampshire) are very high. Seriously considering keeping our 11 year old off school next week. It's a complex question. But the COVID stats are all pointing one way right now. Fully expecting the government, as usual, to get to the same place as everyone else...just several weeks later.
