According to them, tests have shown that a single dose not only prevented the infected from becoming seriously ill, but also promoted a very good immune response “to the elderly and vulnerable groups.
Hancock said this “means that we can give them the first dose of as many people as possible and they can gain the protection given to the first dose”.
The first “dosage actually provides adequate protection in order to have, a public health policy, an initial reaction with a dosage, and then we should follow it 12 weeks later with a second dose, because we know that whoever took the first dose has not had a serious illness and did not have to go to the hospital.”, authorities said.
