What Happens If You Skip Or Delay The Second COVID-19 Vaccine Dose?

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The coronavirus vaccine is a dream in this long and grueling pandemic. Here’s what else to know about the timing of your second coronavirus shot and what happens if you skip it: One dose of Pfizer’s or Moderna’s vaccine isn’t as effective Real world data shows that the Pfizer vaccine is about 80% effective against COVID-19 two weeks after you received your first dose. And if you’re having a two-dose regimen, make sure you get that second dose, too,” Fauci said in a late April press conference. But don’t panic if you can’t make it on that exact date, said Kavita Patel, a practicing internal medicine physician in Washington, D.C. “The CDC has gone on record to state that you can safely get the second dose about 42 days out for Moderna and Pfizer ― you can also get it a couple of days earlier as well,” she said. Just don’t put off getting the second dose entirely Both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines require two doses to truly work.
