Seems the suggestion ade last week for more folk getting the first vaccine , rather than two immediate doses for less people is gathering traction

Following advice by the*Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI)*and agreed*by all four UK Chief Medical Officers, Pfizer and UK regulators the Government has agreed to extend timings between the first and second Pfizer vaccinations.*

The urgent priority is to save lives. We need to increase the number of vulnerable people who have received a first vaccination. The data now shows us a very high efficacy rate from just the first dose, which was not known before, and therefore the JCVI* now advises that the first dose should be given to as many eligible people as possible, and that this is more effective that delivering a second dose in a shorter period, and crucially will save significantly more lives.

This is new information and we must act on it as to fail to would be absolutely wrong and cost lives.
