Is there any reason not to come back for a second shot? I can imagine concerns for not getting the vaccine at all, yet why only one shot? |
Most people got their vaccines out of fear, no sense of community whatsoever
With both cases and deaths decreasing there will be no longer the same fear, as such people are more likely to skip a second shot because they feel things are "safe enough"
Hopefully I'll be proven wrong
Edit: There is also an on going problem, shortages of Astrazeneca vaccines. This is delaying second shot schedule and with delays people can be discouraged to take their second shots
About 50% of people here are vaccinated with Astrazeneca, we have more than enough Pfizer to make up those numbers and so far researches indicate both have good synergy
Problem is we need to preserve Pfizer to vaccinate our teenager population, my city will apply Pfizer for kids and teens starting next week. It's our only vaccine that can be safely used on youths
The second option is to use Coronavac as second shots for those who got Astrazeneca, and use Pfizer for elders third shot and teens first shots
