Since this algorithm is obviously flawed this way, is it likely to be flawed with respect to the timing of the second dose?
Every report I’ve seen from experiment subjects (who may have received the placebo) indicates that the second dose sucked for 2-3 days, and was much worse than the first.
If you give all your, for example, ICU staff the second dose at the same time, and then they can’t work for 2 days, how do you staff that?
Did you plan for this, or will it be a surprise that “The Algorithm” missed?
- emcq 6y agoThis is easy to resolve by staggering doses which I know at least other hospitals are doing.
- craz8 6y agoIt is, but are they actually planning to do this? The key is that you need to stagger them now - maybe over a 10 day period to be safe (plan for 2 days off, so 20% out of action with 10 days, try to use “weekend” time for this) But in the middle of a pandemic, even 20% is a lot of lost capacity And then some people need to be in the day 8, 9 and 10 groups so won’t “get the vaccine first” So it’s actually not quite as simple as just spreading them out over a few days and hope for the best.
