1/ A few points to clarify a few points...
These vaccines are really really good, but not perfect.
One dose of a vaccine provides excellent protection against #COVID19 infection, but of course 2 doses provide more protection. https://twitter.com/drmwarner/status/1387420736202149889">https://twitter.com/drmwarner...

2/ NACI outlines protection after 1 dose of a vaccine in their recent document:
"Most importantly, these studies show one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech & AstraZeneca vaccines are
approximately 80% effective against hospitalization..."

3/ Here is some of the data backing up NACI& #39;s statement above, but from a clinical trial.
This graph below is with Pfizer...look at how people start to gain protection ~12-14 days after their 1st dose (red line).
Pretty impressive.

4/ But going back to the 1st point, while 1 dose provides pretty decent protection from #COVID19, 2 doses are ideal.
Stretching out the interval between dose 1 & 2 i(in Canada) provides protection to more people over a shorter period of time.
This will end our pandemic faster.

So can you get #COVID19 even 2 weeks after your 1st dose?
Of course - but your risk is much lower.
Can you get really sick?
Sure - but your risk is also much lower.

6. So what do we do?
The same thing we& #39;ve been doing all along...mask indoors, avoid close, confined, crowded settings. Ventilate rooms. Spend time outdoors. You know...the usual.
Also, we& #39;ll probably get 2nd doses before 4 month due tohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Pfeil nach oben" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach oben">supply. (Probably).

7. Also, while these vaccines are really really good, they are not perfect. People can still get sick even after 2 doses.
It& #39;s pretty uncommon, but it can happen.

8. With time, vaccines will help us return to normalcy.
Take home points:
-Vaccines work really really well
-2 doses better than 1, but 1 still really good
-Maintain precautions after 1 dose, you are not invincible
We& #39;ll get through this.
