I did.
And that's what I had.
Yeah.
And you've just got to weigh that up for yourself.
Well it means that you're going to need another four million doses of Pfizer overall.
Um it means that presumably if you continue to prioritize older people, that thirty to forty year olds are gonna have to wait a bit till fifty to sixty year olds uh till fifty to sixty year olds effectively get immunized.
And um with Pfizer and the minister was at length to say that there are more Pfizer doses coming to the country over the next few weeks and through the rest of this year.
So there is supply available but it's not immediately available to get it into people's arms as quickly as p some people would like, but it will be there.
There's no question that the second dose is much safer than the first dose.
There have been very few reports of vaccine induced clotting syndrome with the second dose.
Most of the experiences in the UK.
There there is a small risk, but it's a tiny fraction of the risk for the first dose.
So if you've had no problems with the first dose, you can be pretty confident to go on to the second dose.
In terms of mixing doses, the government
or a taggy are still not confident in saying that that's okay.
It's likely to be okay.
And that story could change over the next few weeks as the British come out with their data on mixing doses.
But that's that's almost certainly going to be okay.
But that will put extra pressure on the Pfizer supply in the near term.
Um yeah, so when the the data for Pfizer for Astra for sixty th sixty percent is when they looked at the variants and what would particularly the delta variant.
