Offering two doses to the most vulnerable members of muh society while making the young healthy population wait longer for their first dose makes far more sense than what we are doing now. It's ridiculous that the first dose was available to my age group for over a week now as I live in a hot spot but my dad has to wait until late July for his second dose. If you were willing to camp out on the Peel Region website you could get it even earlier. That's what my neurotic niece did and she just got vaccinated over the weekend.
Once we get to like 60 to 70% of the adults vaccinated with the first dose, the interest will fall and second doses will be rapidly available. And then we will have incentive like lottery winnings and more, just like in the US, to get people vaccinated.
I'm really excited to see at what point interest drops off. Although I fear that as the intelligence of your average Canadian is pretty low, vax percentages might end up exceeding 70%.
But the whole reason for the push to give everyone their first dose before moving onto the second is because the government doesn't want a repeat of what happened in the United States. In the US, people who were fully vaxed started returning to normal life and the people around them who weren't getting the shots kind of just jumped on board and suddenly everything was opening again regardless of vaccination numbers. The governments up here want to withhold our freedoms from us as long as possible so that we reach a point where we'll do anything to get them back, and the biggest excuse they can find to do that is saying not enough people are fully vaxed yet.
In the US 60% of all adults already got at least one dose. They will reach the 70% too.
