Looks like it.
Spain is sticking with 3 weeks until the second one.That’s my worry with only having the one jab with a 12 week gap as it’s extending this period of doubt and uncertainty when the vaccine is not at it most potent and to be fair to the drug companies they never said it should be 12 weeks.

You're right Zorro it is a tough one, what is the better way to do it, I suppose time will tell.It’s a tough one is it better to have 10% of the uk fully covered or 30% half covered???
for me, at least the rationale and the counter argument is there in the public domain. I assume there will be more in the next weeks.Doesn't exactly inspire confidence
