It met the burden of proof test for our own regulators and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

There are numerous concerns about the study that showed it to be 10% effective but even so some immunity is better than none so until proven otherwise we should continue work under the assumption of what we know about vaccines and how they work which is that it's rare for a vaccine to be completely ineffective against mutations.

We have our own experts making these decisions and they're not idiots. If anything the rollout of the vaccine has shown them to have made the right calls at the right time - i.e the single dose regime.

Now they might be wrong and change the approach if the science changes but then it'll be them to judge when and if that happens.
