Giving someone dose 1 of a vaccine & having them sign consent paperwork under the promise they will receive dose 2 at a specific time and as recommended, but then changing that between doses, does not constitute informed consent.

I was a junior doc for many years and of course they should campaign for the best Ts and Cs. But I could never support the BMA’s approach to withdraw patient care as a negotiating tactic. Using patient care as a bargaining chip is beyond ‘reckless’, it’s shameful.
