Way back when, I wasn't convinced about our (UK) vaccination stance; from the start of the rollout it has been first doses - with the gap for the second set at 12 weeks. The British Medical Association said it was wrong, and there was international condemnation. Now the WHO have endorsed an 8 to 12 week gap. They've also recommended the AZ jab for all age groups over 18, despite French and German comments otherwise (I'm not anti either, I'm a remainer and respect both, but their politician's uninformed comments denigrating the AZ jab were downright dangerous, and the EU is now sitting on unused doses of it). I don't know whether we've rather unexpectedly got something right in this sorry mess, or just had a very lucky break. Edit: I'm in the first-doses camp, but not first-doses-first, as the UK is doing two doses in parallel but with an extended gap so a larger volume of first doses go out 'quickly' but people aren't just left with the one. Feels like a good compromise to me. I also have to say, despite the fact that it is absolutely nothing to do with me, it does feel quite good that the Oxford jab is by far the cheapest and also being manufactured by third parties across the world at pretty much cost. They done well.
