Since their introduction, government policy changed from giving the second dose at 21 and 28 days respectively to giving it up to 12 weeks for both.
This was made on the basis that both vaccines confer significant protection after the first dose and that the greater public health priority is to maximise coverage of first dose rather than of second dose.
The Pfizer jab was approved in early December and has therefore been used for the earliest parts of NHS Lothian’s vaccination programme.
