Why 2300 people are overdue for their second shot is not clear to me just that it was stated on the news that this is a reality.

The experts do not yet know about the effects of not getting a 2nd dose of the Phizer or Moderna vaccine at the ideal time. This is because they have not had enough of the missed or late dosed people to study it. Probably soon some results will come in from the UK. They do believe that older adults will lose their protection from the 1st dose faster than young people when / if they miss that 2 nd dose at the ideal time.
