"is also valid," experts said.
html At the press conference of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism on epidemic prevention and control and vaccination held on 20th, Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, responded to reporters’ questions about the interval between the second shot of the vaccine being injected for more than 8 weeks.
Injection of vaccine
Chief expert of immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
When we get vaccinated, we have a general principle, that is, if this vaccine requires 2 or 3 doses, there is a gap between the doses and the doses. Usually, it is completed according to the procedure interval. If you exceed this interval, or if it lengthens it, the subsequent vaccination will be effective.
For such a general principle, we have also written into the technical guide for the vaccination of the new coronavirus this time.
, especially the inactivated vaccine you mentioned just now, we require that it be done as much as possible within 8 weeks. If the interval between the second and first shots is more than 8 weeks, there is no need to re-eat in this case, or there is no need to start vaccination again. So, if it is more than 8 weeks, you can just fill the missing dose.
Of course, we will further remind the public here that when vaccinating, as required, try to complete the second dose of inactivated vaccine within 8 weeks.
