it appears some healthcare workers have recieved notice that their second dose is to be brought forward.

have any fab healthworkers been notified of this?

I've not seen this.

But just as a side note, there is very interesting data coming out of Israel right now.

They are saying the Pfizer jab is 85% effective after just one dose.

So there may not be a need to rush the 2nd dose.

Israel doesn't have the data as they try to give the 2nd dose in 3 weeks but an Israeli on sky this morning did say that the people who had to wait longer than 3 weeks seemed to have a higher immune count.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

Mark Stone on Twitter said about the 85% effectiveness.

Good news if true

Yes

Most of us had ours early/mid January and the girls who had them in the first week have just received letters for second appointments

It may well be

A lot of friends who work in hospital settings have already had their second doses having received the first sometime in late December

I think it will be age dependent if you weren't in the care home worker or health and social care worker categories. I haven't seen any different info regarding other specific industries, not in Wales anyway.

The Israeli data is largely based on the Pfizer vaccine, which is just 1 of them in use here, albeit the first to be deployed.

As has been seen, in some areas people outside of the first 4 groups were sometimes offered the vaccine, if local numbers and supplies warranted it, so there does seem to be a bit of variation out there. It seems most sensible for those who have somewhat degraded immune systems, such as more elderly people, to get the doses as close to the timing of what's known to work, from trial evidence. It's good that we're getting newer data and evidence now, so that more confidence is given upon decisions.

It's always been a maximum of 12 weeks rather than 12 weeks apart.

They were talking about this on the BBC News channel earlier and saying that because supply and the roll out is going better than we thought they probably are going to be able to bring those 2nd vaccines earlier to people.

it's possible that there is new data that phw are reacting to from ongoing trials that negates the gamble of extending the interval from 3 to 12 weeks. maybe we will find out in due course.

Yes it is age dependent, though younger people who are classed as vulnerable are being prioritised over some who are older, but who are not classed as vulnerable.

Yes they have been saying on the news for a few days that younger people that are vulnerable are now being prioritised regardless of whether older people have been vaccinated or not.

It seems that the oxford jab is more effective when given 3 months apart rather than six weeks which is good news for everyone.
