An eight-week gap between the first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine results in stronger immunity against all variants of concern.
The results are based on antibody and T cell levels of UK healthcare workers vaccinated with the Pfizer jabs.
Antibody levels were not sustained for long after the first jab, highlighting the importance of being fully vaccinated.
An eight-week gap between administering the first and second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine leads to the body generating a stronger immune response against Covid-19, according to the latest research from the UK.
Although the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that the two-dose vaccine be given 21 days apart, emerging evidence increasingly points to longer dosing gaps providing greater benefit.
