It's mostly thinking out loud because sometimes the most effective solution is a bit counter-intuitive. There may be some value in getting more people to a guaranteed 100% protection. Right now, in Canada, we seem to be following an intuitive route. But in BC, they've already administered ~4000 second doses. (Likely only in long term care facilities). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/covid-19-update-jan-29-1.5894208 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/covid-19-upd...
So it seems like the strategy there may be to get those residents to 2 shots before others.
