@gmhales @PaulEkblom1 @harryrutter Agree - we need to recognise ability of #COVID19 aerosols to linger and infect several people indoors (think how smoke used to hang in the air in pubs before smoking ban). #Ventilation & air purification is key to being #COVIDSecure — PolitiTweet.org

@joannekarma @JonAshworth @justinmadders @munirawilson I have not seen a proposal to mix and match vaccines. If it was considered, I think would need separate trial. — PolitiTweet.org

@Carer49 Agree - had to hunt for paper- should be clear and accessible. Transparency critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr Philippa Whitford @Dr_PhilippaW

@morgajx JCVI paper suggests ~ 90% efficacy 2 weeks after first dose. Still need booster. High viral replication increases mutation so current high #COVID19 cases danger of further variants. That’s why we all need to stick to rules meantime to get cases as low as possible ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

@WeeScottishMamm I think this is a reasonable strategy in view of limitations to vaccine supply but important Government ensure obtain supply to deliver 2nd dose. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr Philippa Whitford @Dr_PhilippaW

@morgajx It is not suggesting single dose but that more people should be given first dose before boosters delivered. — PolitiTweet.org

@HennieInglis I suggest you read the paper - that is why I shared it. — PolitiTweet.org

@wwwconnected @PippaCrerar @snp I have not seen ANY suggestion of this! This is quite different from plan to focus on maximising coverage with first dose. — PolitiTweet.org

@joannekarma @JonAshworth @justinmadders @munirawilson Here is the JCVI paper explaining the rationale for focussing on getting more people covered with 1st dose of #COVID19 vaccine. https://t.co/iweOR2GD5C — PolitiTweet.org

Dr Philippa Whitford @Dr_PhilippaW

@alanferrier Can’t see how that would work, as they have different mechanisms and would certainly not have trialed. Would need to see evidence for such a counterintuitive approach! — PolitiTweet.org

Here is JCVI paper explaining why delaying 2nd dose of #Pfizer #vaccine, & focusing on getting 1st dose to as many as possible, will help protect more vulnerable people. https://t.co/iweOR2GD5C — PolitiTweet.org
