It is all about the math and the hospitalizations

It was noticed in the studies that people who had 1 dose and then became infected with COVID-19, had very mild cases and were not hospitalized.

The rate of infection with one dose was about 80% fewer than the Placebo group.

With two injections, this rises to 95%. And those that became infected were virtually symptom free.

One dose is effective if you want to slow down the hospitalization rate and reduce the number of deaths in the country. 2 doses definitively prevents spread.

The present CDC (yes CDC) recommendation is only 1 dose for people who have had or tested positive at some point to COVID-19.

So, you can stop the deaths and stop the hospitalizations with one dose or your can add in definitively stop the spread the with a second dose. Your choich.
