Alexa News report: second jabs outnumber first jabs.

Fully expected, you can see the cumulative and daily first/second rates

As near as buggerit 60% of adults have had 1st plus 10% have had 2nd, the
2nd doses now have to follow the pattern 3 months behind the 1st doses,
and the less vulnerable under 50s will get 1st doses at a slower rate.

Whoever decided on the change from 3 weeks between doses to 3 months has
turned out to be ABSOLUTELY right ...

There were many articles at the time said that the industry standard for
max effect was a delay of 12 weeks. 12 weeks being the gold standard due
to the way our immune system works

But that wasnt how the phase 3 trial was done.

And its the time for the Pfizer.

And that the 3 weeks delay in trials was for expediency to get the vaccine
regulatory approval some 2 months earlier than otherwise if a 12 week
delay had been used.

In fact they were both approved at the same time.
