While priority should be given to ramping up first dose administration, I don’t think there is reason to avoid/delay second doses, especially for those in the highest risk pools as the efficacy on that second dose is rather impressive. But I feel like most of this becomes moot in 6-8 weeks or so when we should get close to the point of actually needing to convince people to hurry up and get it as opposed to turning away folks who want it now.

I'd rather we be giving more people overall some immunity than give a smaller number nearly perfect immunity. But obviously that's not happening, so might as well hope it ramps up to the point where it doesn't really matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel’s virus czar says 1st dose less effective than Pfizer indicated — report WWW.TIMESOFISRAEL.COM Nachman Ash reportedly says it's not certain vaccines can protect against mutated coronavirus strains; 12,400 Israelis were infected with virus after receiving 1st shot This article shows different firms claiming as low as 33% and as high as 60% reduction in chance of infection 14 days after the first shot. But Israel isn’t doing single shots, they are giving out both doses, so I’m not sure what they should be waiting on data for? Sorry I was being too lazy to reply yesterday. Far as I know Israel is doing two doses but they are also sending back tons of data to Pfizer on the data they are getting. The reason for the oh no in my original post is I take issue with people who have been throwing around efficacy of 80% after first dose and proof that we should only give everybody a single dose when there was no trial or real data to back that up other then projections from the original 2 dose trial. What we are getting from the Israel data is that the protection % might be lower than originally projected. There are some countries and governments that are pushing to only give out a single dose or are postponing the second dose for much further out than recommended by Pfizer. Besides the UK, Quebec was trying to push out the 2nd dose to as much as 90 days. They're now possibly going to walk that back because of the new data. Quebec vaccine plan may be rethought after troubling Israeli data, says provincial adviser MONTREAL.CTVNEWS.CA Quebec could change its vaccine strategy based on discouraging new data out of Israel about the efficacy of the first dose, on its own, of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, says a top adviser in the province.

I wanted to figure out why I suddenly couldn't breathe. I still have no other covid symptoms but it still feels like shit when I inhale. And she says wait 10 days for it to go away. FYI. my ex's family all tested positive last week but she didn't. She got a second test a couple of days later and WAS in fact positive... she's experiencing symptoms now but she's ok. Her mom is in the hospital though. You should get another test and get your oxygen levels tested... you don't want to mess around with that and difficulty breathing is one of the more concerning symptoms of the disease.

I'm by no means an epidemiologist, but the correlation between major holidays and subsequent spikes seems pretty apparent, and thankfully there aren't any major holidays in the next 5 months aside from Memorial Day (maybe Valentine's Day).

That's the largest number of shots given in one day since the rollout began and a big jump from the previous day, when just under 340,000 doses were given, CBS News reported. That number is likely to jump quickly after the federal government on Tuesday gave states the OK to vaccinate anyone over 65 and said it would release all the doses of vaccine it has available for distribution. Meanwhile, a number of states have now opened mass vaccination sites in an effort to get larger numbers of people inoculated, CBS News reported. But even with the recent pickup in vaccinations, more than two-thirds of the doses sent to states have yet to be administered. As of Wednesday, nearly 29.4 million doses had been shipped to all 50 states and all U.S. territories. Of those, just 10.3 million — about 30% — had actually been used, CDC data shows.
