So she doesnt spread it onto the people she cares for.
The wife is getting the vaccine this evening, which is nice. Less nice is the fact that the second dose is being given on the 25th March
The UK is making a risky bet to stretch its supply of coronavirus vaccines, and scientists are split on the untested strategy
The UK is giving more people a single dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine as soon as possible, instead of waiting for a second dose.

Isn't the first dose up to 70% (up to) effective?
So the second one acts as a booster?
Obviously, we can't know until it's done and people are seeing the results. It is going to help more people get vaccinated quicker which is what is needed, though I agree with critics that the government should have made this decision sooner.
Hope all goes well with it!
Well tbf any keyworker should be vaccinated. They're risking picking it up and spreading it to their older relatives too.
Just needs to be a set way of doing it, though, not pot luck.

But there is no evidence that it stops you catching it is there? Seems to be more stopping you from getting it severe so providing the people someone cares for are vaccinated I dont see the value in using it on the young n healthy right away if they can still catch it and pass it on.
Obviously we'll know more in time.
It's a bit odd tbh. She hasn't really been chosen for it, but her trust sent an email round saying they had some left if any staff wanted it, so she rang up and was offered either Pfizer or Oxford and pretty much any timeslot she wanted. I'll walk her to the hospital for the appointment in case they're giving them away like the half-moldy sandwiches in the bargain bin at Tesco at the end of the dayThe UK is making a risky bet to stretch its supply of coronavirus vaccines, and scientists are split on the untested strategy

Haha.
I read - think it was on here, via @LinekersLegs - that they were doing that in the US. It's because the Pfizer and Moderna jabs expire if they're not used quickly once taken out of the freezers (assume the Oxford one is similar but can be stored at higher temps for longer?).
Tbf even though it's not ideal (they should really be getting them clocked off one by one surely_, it prevents wastage and your wife is going to have some form of protection, which is good!
I mean that's all a vaccine does. It gives your body enough of a chance to fight it off. Most people can fight this thing off fine, but a virus needs a host to spread. If it can't infect someone, then it can't spread.
I see nothing wrong with it. My housemate's 24 and fit (capital F really lol) and healthy and received hers weeks ago because she's working on the covid wards.
