Walgreens spaced Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine doses 4 weeks apart rather than recommended 21-day interval: report
Fox News
Walgreens is shifting its Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination scheduling after federal health officials noted the pharmacy chain quietly decided to space doses apart over a longer-than-recommended period, according to a report.
Second shots should be given "as close to the recommended interval as possible," the Centers for Diease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises, though the federal agency says the interval can be pushed up to six weeks apart. CDC spokeswoman Kate Grusich reportedly said the agency requested Walgreens stop using the extended dosing interval, however.More Related News
