Do note that this boils down to only 90 000 individuals fully vaccinated!
Correct.

1st dose already gives considerable protection at least against serious symptoms and against being hospitalized. That's already good enough (IMO), as it puts covid19 back to the "unpleasant flu" category. There are a great many vaccinations against other illnesses that provide protection with the first jab, though follow up jabs are required for full protection.
