That is why the U.S. has lagged behind some other countries as far as percentage of people who have had the first dose. The powers to be thought about getting as many people as possible a first dose then waiting longer for the second one but the decision was to not do that. When someone got their first dose there was a dose available for the second one as well. I actually made both of my appointments at the same time.Im not at all nervous about getting a second dose, in fact, the appointment cant come soon enough as I want to be fully protected. Got to wait 8 weeks for a second dose here, as they are prioritizing getting as many people partially protected as possible, although in some areas its 12 so it could be worse.
