Second Dose of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccine: Yes, but When to Give It?
Nearly two months into the Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination effort, U.S. public health authorities have another challenge on their hands: making sure that people who’ve got their first shot return for their second one.
Initial data shows that most people are coming back for their second shots. Data from the Texas Department of State Health Services showed just 0.3 percent of the 1.9 million people vaccinated thus far were late for their second shot — though another 7.5 percent are due.
And as more vaccines roll out beyond front-line health care workers and older Americans, there is some concern the number of people failing to get their second dose could grow.
The push is taking place against the backdrop of a public debate around whether to delay the second shots and focus on getting the first shots to as many people as possible.
