Another topic on which clarity would be good. (The three week interval is strikingly short for *any* vaccine. I know of a single other vaccine that even *allows* an interval as short as three weeks. It seems Pfizer picked three weeks to speed up trials, but then it got stuck).

I don't know the answer. I'm just saying these things can easily be studied by setting up trials as we administer things—usually classic phase IV studies but we're in a hurry. It may be a small difference, but would be good to know.https://twitter.com/AndreasShrugged/status/1417159207195971584 …

I think UK's Recovery trial was exemplary, and I just wish we had more, both randomized and cohort studies. There's a bunch of things around which we don't have the clarity we easily could have had. (FWIW: this isn't saying any answer is wrong. I just want more trials).

No, hard to get answers that way, different places and time periods. Again: trials, cohort studies, registries etc. doing (as best as we can) apples-to-apples comparisons is what we needed. Would have been really smart and cost-effective in the long run.https://twitter.com/LakePatina/status/1417166352717127682 …

The trial data did 3 weeks. They could speculate that 8 would be better but there was no data. Also, the first vax alone was less protective than two, and there was a lot of covid around.

Are we at a point where we do third doses or do we wait for specialized booster approvals yet?

My vaccine scheduler (Moderna) tried to reschedule me earlier than 4 weeks later and told me CDC said that was fine. I said no. I read that CDC says you don't need to get it again if you accidentally get it before 4 weeks but it is NOT recommended.

If 8 is better, no reason to do it earlier - it also allows more people to get the first dose before the second starts.

Brazil is using a three month interval for the AZ and Pfizer vaccines so we have a nationwide experiment. ;-D
