In some situations, you may be advised to have a shorter gap between doses. We are extending the standard gap because it allows us to give 1 dose (partial protection) to a larger number of people faster.Įarly findings from a small number of well-designed studies show that an extended gap between doses of the Pfizer vaccine gives at least an equally robust immune response. The standard gap between doses is now 6 weeks or more.
For the best protection, it is important to get 2 doses of the vaccine.
