Wow, potherbs are actually leafy greens that are cooked in a pot! "When you cook up spinach, as opposed to serving it fresh in a salad, you can refer to it as a “potherb.” Other examples of Potherbs are beet greens, collards, kale, mustard leaf, turnip greens, spinach, and Swiss chard." |

on the other hand tho, 香味野菜 are literally any fruit, vegetable, herb, etc that is used for flavor...
"aromatic vegetables" or "aromatic produce" is what we are putting in for now

Or replace "host" with "present" or something? brain still warming up here tbh |

A
It is necessary to get 2 doses of the vaccine. Three weeks (21 days) after your 1st dose, get the 2nd dose as soon as possible.
or
B
It is necessary to get 2 doses of the vaccine. Get the 2nd dose as soon as possible 3 weeks (21 days) after your 1st dose.

Get the 2nd dose as soon as possible 3 weeks (21 days) after your 1st dose. A sounds better to me. The second sentence of B is a bit confusing as to when someone should get the 2nd dose. A makes sure there's at least a period of 3 weeks between 1st and 2nd, that B doesn't exactly get across. |

Same here, B is clearer.
It really bugs me that there's this trend to do these comma clauses when going from JPN to ENG, but they could be easily reworded into a single phrase. Remember that commas are supposed to serve kinda as a pause so I go out of my way to try to remove them because there are just SO MANY here in translated docs.
That's at least how I feel. I wish they would stop doing lists of four...

I was writing something similar a couple weeks ago for our vaccine drive. It was more succinct in Japanese though.
Number of doses: 2 doses. 2nd dose to be received 3 weeks after 1st dose.

I think it just figured people would be following the directions from the doc? Or maybe the appointment for both will be made during the first shot? |
