Delaware Public Health is revising the state’s vaccination plans regarding the second dose.
The CDC has announced that a second shot could be scheduled 42 days after the first dose, if it’s not possible to meet Pfizer’s recommendation of 21 days or Moderna’s guideline of 28 days. Because of the limited supply, DPH is recommending that vaccine partners schedule people for their second doses between 28 and 35 days after the first dose.
Public health also says the second dose of the vaccine does not need to be administered by the same provider as the first vaccination, or at the same location. However, the second dose should come from the same manufacturer as the first dose.
