The shortage of vaccine supply in the United States triggers differences among experts: Fauci: The first dose and the second dose do not conflict
At present, the new crown vaccination work in the United States is underway, but the shortage of vaccine supply and the frequent infection of variant strains have caused public health experts to be in disagreement and began to discuss whether to change the vaccination schedule.
Osterholm and some experts who provided consultation on the epidemic work for Biden’s transitional government suggested: “First, ensure that more people can get the first dose of the vaccine, which can effectively prevent a new round of outbreaks.”
American public health expert Fauci said that there is currently no research showing which vaccination method is more effective, but considering the emergency, the vaccination should be promoted according to the existing plan.
Fauci said: "While providing the second dose of vaccine to those who have been vaccinated as planned, try to ensure that more people can receive the first dose of vaccination. The two do not conflict." Fauci said it is not appropriate to compare plans at this time. Too much energy is spent, but relying on the existing data and information to advance the vaccination work as soon as possible.
