As for what the doctor said, it needs a wider audience than it would have probably got on Radio 5 this morning - hopefully, it's getting plenty of listens on social media.
Ian Gough.

Regarding the pfizer vaccines, can anyone explain what it meant by this: "The Pfizer and BioNTech covid-19 vaccine may provide some early protection, starting 12 days after the first dose, the peer reviewed results of a phase III trial have found.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine,1 found that vaccine efficacy between the first and second doses was 52% (95% credible interval 29.5% to 68.4%)."

It's obviously an incredibly difficult decision to make regarding how to roll-out vaccines with speed of highest importance for vulnerable people, and some protection much better than none at all.
