The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines has been slower than many people were hoping for. And that has led to various suggestions on ways that governments should modify the plan for getting people vaccinated. The variety of suggestions being put forward can be pretty confusing.

Some are calling for everyone to get just one dose of the vaccine, instead of the two doses used in the clinical trials. Others have proposed sticking with the two doses but delaying the second one until after everyone has received their first dose. Still others are proposing we still give two doses, using the 3-4 week time frame but mix-and-match the first and second vaccines – giving people whichever vaccine is available at the time regardless of which vaccine you got first. Even more recently, the chief advisor to Operation Warp Speed suggested possibly cutting the Moderna vaccine doses in half.
