There are now talks underway to limit people to one dose of the vaccine so more can be vaccinated. But others worry:

TheHill

'Very risky' to delay second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, says former FDA director

Spreading out the first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines may result in lower immunity.

Then there is this, which I saw after I wrote the poll. They may give everyone two half doses.

POLITICO

Feds may cut Moderna vaccine doses in half so more people get shots, Warp Speed adviser says

Federal officials have said the U.S. will need to vaccinate roughly 80 percent of the population to achieve herd immunity against the coronavirus.

I heard that changing the original (and only, so far) dose of the first vaccine offered will not happen.
I am in no rush to get the double dose brand until it is compared to the next ones coming out. Can't remember who makes #2 but #3 is Johnson and Johnson and both are single doses. We will all have to read as much as possible.
Those getting jabbed now are healthcare workers and the elderly. Makes sense as it would be easy to spread the virus in hospitals and assisted living centers.

This is the California vaccine tracker. Each state must have a similar one.

The San Francisco Chronicle

California COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker

California has received about 1.3 million vaccine doses and has another 611,000 on the way. Only about 454,000 doses, or 35% of those available, have been administered so far. In the San Francisco Bay Area, vaccines are being given out to health workers. Here are the latest updates.

Eventually it should be widely available

Good Housekeeping

It Looks Like Americans Over the Age of 75 May Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine in January

Essential workers - from first responders to grocers - may receive a shot sooner.

Thanks for posting. I read it all. Very informative.
I am in no rush until more side effects are taken into consideration. I will check to see if my state has a chart like that. Every state should.
