How on earth does this speed vaccination rates? The 15-minute wait is after the jab, and so presents zero bandwidth constraints on the actual vaccination process. It’s just a bunch of people sitting quietly in a room requiring almost no attention, then leaving.

I don’t have a huge objection to the decision itself; if folks have found that GBS is really low risk, sure, tell people they can stay or go at their leisure. But the justification here is so transparently ridiculous that it makes me wonder what the real reason is.

Vaccination is much quicker than 15 minutes... if there isn't space in the room for the next person to sit quietly, you can't jab them.


Rooms have capacity limits, especially with distancing requirements.

You can do probably fifteen shots in that fifteen minutes, so if you've got a big queue it certainly might let you get through it faster.
