I’m aware that there’s an ongoing debate about the tradeoffs of prioritizing first doses for as-yet unvaccinated individuals vs. getting people “fully” vaccinated more quickly.
However, one could very well argue for prioritizing first doses over second doses, even if there were a substantial increase in efficacy provided by that second dose, simply because the marginal improvement of going from 0 doses to 1 is much higher than going from 1 dose to 2.
What I’m asking about is whether there’s really any evidence for this increase at all, or whether it’s just as safe to begin my air travel 14 days after my first dose as 14 days after my second.
One reference point: in Canada the guidance is that the first dose provides enough protection to delay the second dose up to 4 month.
