Data from the clinical trials and massive vaccination rollouts lead some experts to make a case for single shots from Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, too. The latter two are messenger RNA vaccines currently being rolled out in North America, Europe and the Middle East as a double dose.

Howard Schwartz and how nice he was when I was sent to shadow him one day as a young journalism student. He emailed me last week and we ended up having a nice telephone conversation to catch up.
