      If we move fast with trials for a single-dose vaccine, we might be able to double the number of people we can quickly vaccinate—ending this crisis sooner, helping with vaccine equity, and saving many lives. New piece from @michaelmina_lab and me. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/opinion/coronavirus-vaccine-doses.html …pic.twitter.com/zsvddgIC9T

      Here are some ways this could be put to trial quickly. Volunteers from low-risk, high-exposure groups within early phases, or people outside the EUA (who'd get a chance at earlier vaccination).https://twitter.com/SteveJoffe/status/1339923303981608960 …

      1/ The hints that single doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech & Moderna vaccine are protective are really important, & I'm glad @zeynep & @michaelmina_lab call for studying them. The case for comparing 2 doses to 1 dose plus placebo is compelling. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/opinion/coronavirus-vaccine-doses.html … pic.twitter.com/k41BA7Npeg

      Immunologists have also suggested half-dose/half-dose prime/booster trials. I know trials are expensive but there's a lot on the line—vaccinating the whole planet, much earlier. Just last April, we thought we'd need another 18 months for any vaccine, let alone ones this good.

      Also: there are powerful politicians advocating for single dose *without a trial* (no!) and some will miss the booster (they shouldn't but always happens). Evidence on durability/effect would allow better decisions on resource allocation on this question. Resources matter.

      Bravo. Thank you for this piece and your insights and advocacy. Let's get some data ASAP--including scouring the data that might already be collected. My vax: less painful than flu shot, no untoward effects now at 48 hours. #covid19 #vaccine

      Thank you! Congratulations! I'm glad you got few side-effects but that's another thing we need to be out there messaging about.

          Yeah, I've been messaging that some local reaction and systemic symptoms are sign that your immune system has recognized and responded to the #vaccine. With family and a number of patients, that message seems to make sense to them. Waiting for feedback. Historic days, I will say.

          Right but as soon as we go outside the HCW community, it's going to be a big deal. Historic, indeed.
