You know Ministers could have ordered half shots to get twice as many people "vaccinated" by now.Comment

With a lag of 12 weeks until 2nd doses, mostly, we're going to see a colossal jump quite soon.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The flood of age restrictions for Oxford vaccine is also concerning, we'll see soon who is right.Comment

on track with the EU? nearly 5 times the EU.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations - Statistics and Research - Our World in Data
UK 18.86 doses per 100 people.
EU 3.85 doses per 100 people.
Even super efficient Germany is at 3.91 doses per 100 people.

So why is the UK being so slow with the 2nd jab? When the instructions on the bottle say take one twice daily, would you just take one a day for twice as long and hope for the best?

From a public health perspective, if one dose gives exactly half the efficacy of a double dose, then there's nothing in it. All evidence suggests that a single dose gives much more than half the efficacy of two so, again from a public health perspective, its a no brainer.
If other countries are supply-constrained, rather than delivery process constrained, then they should really be doing what we are doing, to get the maximum possible public health benefit in the shortest amount of time.Comment

They are 5 times faster than the EU on any dose. Whilst a single dose is not as effective as two, a large portion of the population (most of those at risk) having 60% + protection is better than a very small portion having 80%+
They have effectively fully protected 1.7% of their population the UK has protected 18% at least partially.
This was discussed with the scientists before it was started. Just as buying vaccine early was.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
