CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

I am not sure if I have missed something, but hopefully someone can clear these up for me:

1) I thought with previous restrictions we didn't have to scan in if we were there for less than 15 minutes.  It seems we have to scan in regardless now.  What has changed for this to be different?

Officially from https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/checking-qr-codes
Current Chief Health Office directions require that anyone attending one of the above-mentioned venues or facilities for a period of 15 minutes or more must check in.

This applies to everyone, whether you are an employee, customer or other visitor attending the venue on work duties. 

For example, if you’re getting a takeaway coffee and will be at a café for less than 15 minutes, it is recommended that you check-in, but not a requirement. If you’re having a coffee at the venue and may be longer than 15 minutes, you need to check in.

2) I would assume that if I (someone) got vaccinated - first jab - now, the vaccine wouldn't be effective until after the second jab has kicked in, a bit after 12 weeks from now.  If that's the case, why the sudden surge in vaccinations.

Thanks

The 1st vaccination achieves partial efficacy(~70%) after about 10 to 14 days but this diminishes after about 3 months, so you see where the 12 week delay comes from, the 2nd vaccine will boost that efficacy to close to 95% and is expected to last at least 12 months. It's all about the formation of antibodies and COVID aware T-Cells.
