This is a genuine scientific question, if it represents better overall protection then why are other countries not copying what the UK is doing with the 12 week window? I am genuinely curious as to why you think this is the case.
Trying to score cheap political points is pretty crass, especially as most countries across Europe are not going to come out of it in a good light.
Canada suspends use of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine for those under 55

Not that I agree with this but did people say that actions like this were just the EU trying to get back at AZ?
Come to Verona and i'll buy you a few Tennent's Super.
Given your circumstances, frankly they should be classifying you with the people who get it *now*.
I've got a response I *want* to give now, but fear the crass labelling from certain posters, so will avoid for now. It's a sunny day and I'd rather spend it of sunny mind.
Yes. The younger people my spread it but its those who in theory who've already had 1st jab (older and medically vulnerable) who are more at risk. Better to give a 2nd jab and keep more people alive or out of hospital.
I did read something, might have posted it on here which suggested that the variants we've got are likely to be as bad as they'll get, can't recall the reason but it might have been Mac and Chise who posted it.
Oxford said it would probably be alright, Pfizer warned against it.

tbh, it's... risky going against the medical tests; in effect you make us the live trial, which is... fraught with danger. Now it looks like it might well come off, which is great, but it's still risky. Was nervous at the time with it and the only reason I wouldn't go on the offensive then, or now for that matter, is because it did seem, at least, to be led by the medical advice (you know, Mr negative Whitty
As for variants, wouldn't it be nice if what we ended up with next was a nice weak, easily transmissable variant. Go on Covid, you know you want to!
Sorry Jimmy hill I got a text from my forum health centre and booked straight away. I’m 49 too
).
My Dads just had his call as well. His appointment is for next week so under 10 weeks since the first. Mums got her booked in as well, hers was booked in at the same time as the first one so that's a 12 week gap.My Old Man just had the phone call for his second jab.
A week early so 11 weeks after his first jab (for those shit at maths
She'd have gone to Stoneleigh, then?
Yep. Dad got the call from his GP and for some reason had to go to a health centre on the other side of the city. Mum is at the same GP but got a letter to sign up for Stoneleigh. I'm only 5 minutes away from them but with a different GP and had mine at the health centre down the road. All a bit random but the system seems to be working.
Stoneleigh is nationally arranged, GPs locally apparently. My parents got a phone call from their GP offering them a vaccine, the evening they'd just come back from Stoneleigh!
