Interestingly, they seem to be following Tony Blair's suggestion from a week ago.

I have to admit I ignored the Blair headlines the other day on the basis that it was Blair. However having now read it, it seems he has either had sight of the same papers coming out of the JCVI, or else a second peer group that has reviewed where we are, and the data around the way the vaccine provokes immunity over two doses, and has come to the same conclusion as the JCVI, namely that the level of immunity after one dose is useful enough that vaccinating lots of people once outweighs the benefits of having fewer people vaccinated twice. He also seems to allude to the same emerging research that a longer gap between doses is more beneficial.
