This is easy to resolve by staggering doses which I know at least other hospitals are doing.

It is, but are they actually planning to do this?

The key is that you need to stagger them now - maybe over a 10 day period to be safe (plan for 2 days off, so 20% out of action with 10 days, try to use “weekend” time for this)

But in the middle of a pandemic, even 20% is a lot of lost capacity

And then some people need to be in the day 8, 9 and 10 groups so won’t “get the vaccine first”

So it’s actually not quite as simple as just spreading them out over a few days and hope for the best.
