I also questioned the earlier statements about delaying the second vaccine shots by several days or even weeks. Dr. Fauci did not seem to be in agreement, and while I’m certainly no expert, it would seem better to get the people in the first rounds (healthcare workers, the elderly, those with health issues) fully protected than to give more people a bit of protection that then leaves everyone with only partial protection. It’s also worrisome that the vaccines were never tested for efficacy with extensive delays in the second shots. I understand that the vaccines are still in short supply, but I’d rather we followed the recommendations that came from all the trial studies.
