      UK JVCI: “There is very good immunological and vaccine effectiveness evidence that the longer you leave that second dose the better for Pfizer and eight weeks seems to be a reasonable compromise.” US did three weeks. CDC said six weeks okay but I know people asked & got refused.https://twitter.com/HugoGye/status/1417051348336529409 …

      JCVI's Anthony Harnden tells @theipaper that people getting 2nd dose of covid vaccine <8wks after their 1st are "definitely less protected against asymptomatic disease". Govt accused of "communication failure" in failing to get this point across. https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/covid-vaccine-second-jab-early-eight-weeks-more-likely-affected-fourth-wave-1105488 …

      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 …

      Germany has been doing 6 weeks from the start. So overall, I'm glad to read this, but the 6 weeks really feel like an eternity.

      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 …

      We can certainly wait until this fall, compare case study data between US (3~4 weeks interval) and Canada (Longer) before making any conclusion.

          the thing w national health system is RECORDS of medical outcomes, vax outcomes, evidence based medicine rather than fee for service. i'd be so happy w a new crop of candidates applying to med school +change from admin focus back to medicine centered. +we'd have outcome RECORDS

          What we do know based on Pfizer study data is that the 1st shot has little effect against Delta variant, only after 2nd shot (at recommended interval) the efficacy is reasonably high. And Delta variant is sweeping through US now. Waiting 2 months could kill.
