While this case is quite bizarre, giving doses to random people rather than having the vaccine go bad is pretty common, and makes sense.
Except for one thing: If I am the lucky recipient of this vaccine, ahead of schedule (since I am under 75 and have no comorbidities), then what about the second dose? Do I have to get lucky a second time, the right amount of time after my first dose? (My understanding is that there have been no studies of delayed second doses.) Or am I given priority because I've had the first dose?
- vlovich123 6y agoI don't think anyone really has any formal policies or if there are they probably vary drastically based on your municipality (the US healthcare system is a mess). The data does indicate that even 1 dose gives you some immunity, just not the 95%. That's why there's been a big push from some scientific corners to just get needles in arms to inoculate as many people as people with some immunity & worry about making sure optimal 2nd shot later (broad herd immunity with less efficacy vs smaller more effective herd immunity).
