Roll-out of Covid-19 Vaccination: Discussion
Professor Karina Butler:
Yes, that is correct regarding those three vaccines to which I referred. Each of those are dosed on a two-dose schedule. However, another vaccine is coming down the line which may only require a one-dose schedule. Some vaccines, therefore, may require one dose and some two. The first dose of both the vaccines to which I referred seems to be of some benefit, but it is necessary to have two doses to maximise the benefit.
