and then you have to consider logistics.
you can't hold people hostage to make sure they get their second dose in the time (on the day) they are supposed to get their second dose.
even if we aim or aspire for x group to have their second dose 2 weeks later... and y group to have their second dose 3 weeks later... and z group to have their second dose 4 weeks later...
it isn't like the doses come 2 per pack and they just keep your other one waiting for you...
and people will be no shows (they only get one dose).
and i suppose the thing with the hospital workers, really, is that they are there on hand.
apparently they come with 6 doses to a vial or something like that. and they stay in the fridge for up to 6 days once opened or something like that. that means healthcare workers are on hand for doses that might need to be thrown out otherwise...
it is logistically formidable. since you can't involuntarily detain people to ensure they get that second dose when they are told...
and you don't want a situation where people are scheduled appointments and they turn up and there isn't a dose for them. that's a very very very very very very very bad look. i think nobody wants that.
