* If their reaction to the first dose was scary and/or long and they’re too scared to get the second dose.

* If they heard the first dose was highly effective on its own and don’t understand the risk around the long term efficacy.

* If they already had COVID (or just thought they did) and were treating the vaccine as a booster.

* If they had the first dose but their second dose was interdicted by misinformation.

* If they died or became incapacitated before getting their second dose.

* They did get a second dose but there are problems with the data collection.

* They had problems scheduling the second dose or couldn’t afford the risk of time off from work.

* They’re neglectful of their health.
