This is good scientific news:

"Interpretation: ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination programmes aimed at vaccinating a large proportion of the population with a single dose, with a second dose given after a 3 month period is an effective strategy for reducing disease, and may be the optimal for rollout of a pandemic vaccine when supplies are limited in the short term."

A key quote from a scientist about this paper:

"No-one in a population of 12,408 people vaccinated with a single dose of ChAdOx1 nCo-19 was hospitalised with COVID-19 from 22 days after immunisation. This is the most important thing! 76% efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 is great, but 0 people hospitalised is everything."
