Update 05/01/2020
In line with the changes in guidance there is a deferring of the 2nd dose from 21 days to 11 weeks.
If you have had one dose of the vaccine the evidence is that there is a good level of protection conferred after just one dose. Given the rate of spread of the pandemic the aim is now to get as many people as possible to have a first dose
