LONDON - Governments and health experts worldwide are considering whether to follow the UK in inoculating as many people as possible against Covid by giving them each just one dose rather than two.
The debate has been raging since the end of December, when Boris Johnson’s government announced plans to postpone giving the second dose of both the Pfizer/BioNTech and the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines by up to 12 weeks.
Denmark has now unveiled plans to delay the second dose of both the Pfizer and forthcoming Moderna jabs by up to six weeks, and Germany is considering a similar move.
