I was very lucky to have a Covid vaccination in December and feel very grateful. I am due for my next vaccination in the coming week - but suddenly the government has brought out a new policy. As I understand it, they are now saying that people who have had one vaccination will (mostly) not receive the second one after the three weeks - which was - and still is - recommended on the basis of scientific research. I can see the argument for this - more people recieve their first vaccination sooner if this happens. But I can also see the argument against - we don't know the impact of a much longer interval between vaccinations. So what is fair and reasonable? GPs are saying this is not a good idea - partly because the vaccine had been approved on the basis of a three week interval between vaccinations, and partly because it will be a huge logistical problem for them at short notice to make this change. So - I am not sure if I am just being selfish in hoping I will receive my second vaccination as planned, or if this is actually the best policy for everyone. I will be interested in what others think. And I also want to say I wish everyone a happy and HEALTHY New Year!
