   Nearly 8 percent of Americans — or more than 5 million people — have   
   failed to get their crucial second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according   
   to federal health statistics.   
      
   While more than half of all US adults have received at least one dose of a   
   COVID-19 vaccine, fewer than 30 percent have been fully vaccinated, CDC   
   figures show. Part of that gap stems from the required three- to four-week   
   wait time between doses.   
      
   But in millions of the cases, Americans have not gotten their second shot   
   by choice or because of supply issues, the New York Times said, quoting   
   CDC statistics through April 9, the most recent available.   
      
   The worrisome figure comes as the result of US residents fearing reported   
   flu-like side effects from the follow-up immunization, the belief that   
   they have enough immunity off the first shot — and continuing vaccine   
   shortages in some areas of the country.   
      
   “I’m very worried — because you need that second dose,” said Dr. Paul   
   Offit, who teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and is a member of   
   the FDA’s vaccine advisory panel, to the outlet.   
      
   Medical experts have said there is growing evidence that forgoing a second   
   dose of the two-shot coronavirus immunizations currently on the US market,   
   from Pfizer and Moderna, can leave people more vulnerable to the disease’s   
   highly transmissible variants. In addition, it is unclear how long the   
   protection from a single shot might last.   
      
   A headache after his first shot of Moderna was enough to help convince   
   religious studies Professor Zvi Ish-Shalom of Boulder, Colo., to forgo a   
   second dose, even though there is no proof that his malady was caused by   
   the immunization, the Times said.   
      
   “At this point in time, I feel very clear and very comfortable, given all   
   the various elements of this equation, to forgo the second shot,” Ish-   
   Shalom said.   
      
   Susan Ruel, 67, said she tried to get her second dose of Pfizer at two   
   different Walgreens pharmacies in Manhattan at one point but was told it   
   was out of stock.   
      
   She got her second shot at a third Walgreens the next day — but said many   
   people might not be as persistent as she is.   
      
   “All you need is hassles like this,” Ruel told the Times.   
      
   The third FDA-approved vaccine, from Johnson & Johnson, was hailed as a   
   potential game-changer when it got the emergency greenlight for use from   
   the federal agency in late February because it is a single-dose shot and   
   can be stored without extreme refrigeration temps.   
      
   Then came reports of deadly blood clots from a handful of female   
   recipients in the US — and the vaccine was yanked from use.   
      
   On Friday, after a review of the J&J cases, a key FDA advisory panel   
   recommended the pause on the shot be lifted, saying the vaccine was indeed   
   safe, and the FDA and CDC quickly announced that use of it should resume.   
      
   States such as New York said they would immediately start using the   
   single-dose immunization again.
