How long can I wait to get a second dose of COVID vaccine in MS and how do I schedule it? Anita Lee, The Sun Herald
Jan. 26 With first-dose appointments for the COVID-19 snapped up almost as soon as they are available, some residents are concerned about being able to schedule second doses of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine.
Mississippi State Health Department officials have assured residents that second doses are arriving in adequate numbers for timely vaccination of those who have received first doses.
A second dose of the Moderna vaccine should be administered no earlier than 28 days after the first dose, while the Pfizer vaccine requires a wait of at least 21 days. Second doses administered four days before the minimum time frame are still considered valid, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Freedom. MS Coast vaccine recipients look forward to life after COVID-19 Isabelle Taft, The Sun Herald
Jan. 14 To Monsignor James McGough, the shot represented one thing: Freedom!
McGough was among dozens of Coast residents over age 75 idling in the parking lot at the Kroc Center on Wednesday morning, waiting to receive the Moderna coronavirus vaccine from Coastal Family Health Clinic. As they waited, several spoke with the Sun Herald about why they decided to get the vaccine and how the pandemic has changed their lives.
They were the lucky ones. Mississippians have battled finicky websites and dealt with hours-long waits when they call hotlines to schedule appointments.
