There is some discussion of doing it in the US for Pfizer/Moderna
Instead of debating 'first-shot' vs. 'set-aside' vaccine approaches, hospitals' study should compare them
Hospitals, for the sake of your workers and for all of us, please get your IRBs going to compare the "first-shot" and "set-aside" strategies for Covid-19 vaccination.

Not sure if I ever had a fever as I was taking it every 6 hours as soon as the aches started
Aches, fatigue, headache, chills and no appetite/queasiness were it for me.

REUTERS: The best defense against the evolution of COVID-19 and the emergence of variant strains is getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, top US infectious disease doctor Anthony Fauci said on a Monday (Feb 8) media briefing.
Fauci said while it was reasonable to think about studying the efficacy of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccine as a one-dose regimen in light of supply vaccine constraints, such a study would take months to complete, thus likely making its conclusions moot. Fauci continued to encourage people get two doses of the vaccine.
