That's a long time to get the second dose. What explains such a long delay? The CDC recommends 4 weeks between doses [0].

- cmrdporcupine 6y agoThat's the gap in Canada because of supply constraints.
- shawabawa3 6y agoThat's for Pfizer/moderna vaccines. Astra zenica recommend 3 months between 1st and 2nd dose
- 908B64B197 6y agoThat makes sense.
- smnrchrds 6y agoCanada allows up to a 4 month gap between first and second doses, so they can give as many people their first dose as possible. In theory, it will allow Canada to achieve herd immunity earlier than it would otherwise. In practice, I guess we have to wait and see. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-how-a-four-month-gap-between-shots-could-end-canadas-pandemic-two/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-h...
