Pandremix - only 1 dose being given yet leaflet says 2 are needed!

Sorry, this is my 3rd thread in this topic in as many minutes

I've just read the offical Pandremix information leaflet and it says that 2 doses are recommended, as with Celvapan. It says that 1 dose may be sufficient but they recommend 2. So why is it being administered as a 1 dose only shot, does anybody know?

Bottom line is that the UK JCVI recommendations supersede the manufacturer's pack insert.

Better coverage and getting more people immunised in the shortest time possible.

One dose = ~80% people immunised in 14 days

Two doses = >95% immunised in 42 days.

thanks Musukebba, that's good to know.
