Template talk:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada vaccinations by province

Quebec has controversially opted to delay their second doses for 90 days, against the manufacturer's advice

I changed this sentence to be more encyclopedic. Controversially is a loaded word. And many other provinces are not respecting the manufacturer's schedule of 3-4 weeks. For example, it's up to 6 weeks in Ontario, which is also against the manufacturer's advice. The UK also adopted the 2nd dose delay strategy. All approaches have pro and cons, supporters and critics. Respecting the manufacturer's calendar is also "controversial", at least when in short vaccine supply, because you end up making the choice of covering less people, and chances are more people will die because of it. Initial data shows that a single dose is more than half as effective as two. For the AstraZeneca vaccine, a study even shows that delaying the second dose improves the efficiency. --zorxd (talk) 15:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Calm down. I just reworded it. The reason there's a footnote at all is because there's a big fat zero next to the second largest province in the country. I was planning on removing it when Quebec begins to give second doses and fully vaccinate it's citizens. Take care. CaffeinAddict (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Your new version is not more acceptable. Are you going to add a note to each province not respecting the manufacturer's calendar of 3-4 weeks? No? Then why one for Quebec? Anyways this should be discussed in the main article, presenting both pro and cons of the Quebec aproach. What you are doing here is showing just one POV and is not encyclopedic. I'll revert to my previous note which was clear enough and neutral. --zorxd (talk) 15:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I think a section about the provinces vaccination strategies would be interesting in COVID-19_vaccination_in_Canada. But this issue is too complex to be discussed in a footnote of a table. --zorxd (talk) 15:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

While we are having this discussion, BC shifts its strategy, will now delay 2nd dose up to 4 months (even longer than Quebec): [1]. --zorxd (talk) 21:17, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Maybe take a cool down before you start an edit war, Zorxd and wait for some other opinions on this before you take the high road. CaffeinAddict (talk) 15:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

It seems another user removed your sentence but you reverted it. --zorxd (talk) 15:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

New Column

Could a proportion of people fully vaccinated column be added? Don't know how to edit tables, sorry can't do it myself Chasgior214 (talk) 22:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
