Jason: No vaccine protects you form the day you get it. The body needs to build up protection so yes people will catch the virus before the reach immunity and some will die. Also no vaccine protects 100%. COVID vaccine is 70-90% effective. The second jag gives you a few extra percentage and makes the effect last longer so we prioritise the first jag to as many people as possible to give them the 70-90% protection. Johnson and Johnson has a single dose vaccine in trial but won’t be with us until April assuming it meets safety standards.
