I am 40, not otherwise high risk.
Had booked my second AZ as close as I could to 12 weeks, on the basis of reading that the efficacy of the AZ jab was improved at interval of 12+ weeks.
But I live in Greater Manchester and cases are obviously ticking up. There’s a walk in vaccination this week where I could go and get a second dose. And protection against the Delta variant is obviously much better after the second dose, although I don’t know whether this is affected by dosing intervals etc.
I suppose this comes down to not having a crystal ball, I.e. whether I think I might catch covid in the next 3 weeks.
But if anyone has had this dilemma and crunched some numbers I’d be grateful for input.

Second AZ dose now (9 weeks) or wait until 12 weeks?
