Missed 2nd vaccine?

[Heartnsoul]

The day I was due for 2nd injection I had medical emergency. Now what? How long AFTER 1st shot can I wait? My Dr didn't give me an answer I'm comfortable with? Was going to mall in Leesburg can't get anyone on phone either?

The only answer at this time is to get it as soon as possible. There is no data yet on alternative schedules even though there is a proposal to get everyone their first shot before worrying about getting a second dose into people. This is based on the likelihood that Covid vaccine will be like other vaccines where a delay is not a problem. But we don't know yet. Whenever you do get the second dose is better than not getting it at all. First get over the illness you had that interfered.

The CDC website says:
If you receive a vaccine that requires two doses, you should get your second shot as close to the recommended interval as possible. However, your second dose may be given up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose, if necessary.. You should not get the second dose earlier than the recommended interval...Currently, only limited data are available on efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered beyond this window.

That means there is accepted data that 42 days works just fine whichever of the two dose shots you are getting.

[manaboutown]

I received the Pfizer vaccine for which the second shot is scheduled 21 days after the first. Vaccine unavailability for the second shot took me out another nine days which was fine for as previously posted 42 days is currently the edge of the envelope.

[vintageogauge]

Go to the site without an appointment, bring your old appointment card and proof of your medical emergency and they will most likely give you the second injection.

[CFrance]

According to an AARP newsletter of a couple of weeks ago, the outer time limit is six weeks:

Second dose timing. The second dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine may be scheduled for up to six weeks after the first shot, according to an update posted by the CDC. When the FDA authorized the two vaccines for emergency use late last year, it said that the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine should be administered in 21 days while the Moderna protocol is for the second shot to be given in 28 days. CDC still says that while the “second dose should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible,” if that is not feasible the second dose can be received up to 42 days after the first one.

It's crazy to think Canadians have approximately a 4 month wait before their second dose. And it's still only older people getting it. Vaccine rollout has been a s..t show over there.

[My Daily Run]

If it is Moderma go to St Vincent off 466A...I went without an appt for my second dose...I had my dates mixed up and drove up with my card from the first dose and they didn't question me at all

[Two Bills]

UK. is leaving 12 weeks between vaccinations, as the main aim is getting as many done with the first jab as possible.
Our health advisors assure us it is perfectly safe, and in some cases more beneficial.
But they would, wouldn't they!
Glad wife and I got both our Pfisers before the moved the goal posts.

Just show up at the vax site. All you will need is your ID, email with bar code, and card from your first dose. Easy peasy.

Well, not every country was nearly as forward thinking as us...

• In Early July, the US Government committed the funds towards a vaccine, advance securing an agreement for 600 Million doses of Pfizer, then ordering from AstraZeneca, leaving the rest of world behind.

• On August 5, the US Government signed a deal for $1 Billion to Johnson and Johnson to fast track their vaccine candidate to market and agreed to purchase up to 300 million doses.

• On December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, The US Government ordered that the investment in vaccines go to Americans first, as a priority, and that the vaccines be distributed free of charge.

• On December 12th, the first Vocid-19 vaccine was authorized by the FDA for persons 16 and over.

• On December 23rd, a second order or 400 million vaccine doses was ordered form both Pfizer and AstraZeneca, furthering our potential stockpile of the vaccine.

• The distribution framework was established and the vaccines were sent out immediately and inoculations began, starting with our most vulnerable citizens

As paranoid as Canada has been, it is amazing they don't have everyone vaccinated. We're only 12 days away from the entire US having an opportunity to get the vaccine..

Yesterday it was reported that after the 2nd shot the vaccine is only good for 6 months. I don't mind getting these first 2 shots but I'm not going to keep having that put into me or get a so far non existing booster shot for years to come, that's too much of a gamble, I'll take my chances on surviving the virus from here on.

Can I kindly ask that you delete your post. Sadly people read what you wrote and don't read the reply or believe the worst rather than the truth. For the record, again, the reporting you misunderstood was that there is now six months of data on the vaccine and it is still working great. Six months ago was the beginning of October 2020, before any vaccine was available to the public and it was only being given in controlled studies. Data now available on those study volunteers shows that at six months there is no loss of benefit. No one knows about nine months or 12 months as there was nobody who got it that long ago. But there is no reason to believe there will be a problem.

What you read or heard was that the vaccine is good for six months, not that it was only good for six months, BIG difference.

Our daughter in London is waiting longer for hers as it is policy there to see that more people get their first shots and be partially protected, so they make people wait longer than specified for the second shots so more people can be protected.

So to me that means, get your second shot as soon as you are able.

The key reason Canada is behind the US in vaccine delivery has nothing to do with Canada's willingness to purchase vaccine or lack of planning. Look at your item for Dec 7th where the US ordered that vaccine not be shipped to our allies until we had enough for our needs.

You can see the contracts Canada had in place (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-services-procurement/services/procuring-vaccines-covid19.html):
Canada to receive 2 million doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (February 26, 2021)
Public Services and Procurement Canada has signed agreements with seven companies to secure access to seven COVID-19 vaccine candidates (November 19, 2020)
AstraZeneca: New agreements to secure additional vaccine Candidates for COVID-19 (September 25, 2020)
Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline: Government of Canada signs new agreement to secure additional vaccine candidate and treatment for COVID-19 (September 22, 2020)

Pfizer and Moderna: Government of Canada announces major steps in treating and preventing COVID-19 through vaccines and therapies (August 5, 2020)

By Nov 19 2020 Canada had agreements to acquire up to 414 million doses of vaccine which is 10 doses for each person. Which product would be used depended on licensing and shipment, but Canada had arranged in plenty of time to get vaccine. Somehow it has been very slow in getting delivered to our great neighbor to the north.

My point is that no one knows what affect this vaccine will have in the future as it has not been around long enough and to continue taking it or a booster is at a minimum a gamble with your future health. It's a decision that has to be made individually and at this time my decision is to go no further with the vaccines after my second shot which is scheduled for next week.

[Tmarkwald]

The benefit of the Moderna Vaccine after 6 months is less than 50% in those over the age of 71.

Antibodies are not the qualifying measure of vaccine efficiency.

T-lymphocytes, called “memory cells”, go into action quickly if the body encounters the virus. When the familiar antigens are detected, B-lymphocytes produce antibodies to attack them.

This is why the belief is that the protection is very long-lasting, even though antibodies get flushed out of the system. The older you are, they faster the antibodies are flushed, but the T-cells are forever and along with B-cells, can produce antibodies on demand.

In six months the world may be different place!

Please show the numbers you are not quoting in it's entirety. High is a relative term, the fact is that those under 55 were twice as high as those in my age group of 71 and over, that is a huge difference.

I am not going to paste the entire article into this chat - I provided a link for that.

At the end of six months the numbers for the 55 group were twice the 71 group but while that is interesting, it doesn't indicate much.

1. What were the numbers at day 30? Perhaps the 71 group remained fairly stable while the 55 group started far higher and dropped to only twice. But even then, those are only numbers.

2. What is the threshold number for an individual to still have protection? Perhaps good protection requires a number like 15,000 and at day 209 the 71 group still has three times the response necessary for good protection.

Since I'm not an expert in this field I will let those who are experts summarize the results. To repeat, the authors of the report state:

Antibody activity remained high in all age groups at day 209.

Our data show antibody persistence and thus support the use of this vaccine in addressing the Covid-19 pandemic.

[Tmarkwald]

This is very interesting...

A report out last month from Pfizer suggests people who get both doses keep strong immunity for at least six months. Experts have been at pains to point out that doesn't mean immunity stops at six months. It means that's the longest volunteers in the trials have been followed to see what their immunity is. It's likely to last much longer, Hensley said.

"I would not be surprised if we learned a year from now that these vaccines are still producing a strong immune response," Hensley told CNN.

"I would not be surprised if this is a vaccine that we only get once."

GeriS. I disagree with all three of your last statements. You may well be proven right someday as some terrible manifestation MAY present itself, but there is nothing to support this theory. My opinion of this kind of fear mongering is a very short sighted and irritable one. I have read a lot of things from people I know well and from those I barely know about what caused this Pandemic, and why it was politically engineered. I have heard the leader I voted for say things contrary to what any mother could tell you about how disease spreads. I have heard outrageous things; unproven outrageous things.

It is a shame that the people who give us the National News also freely give us their opinions at times. We do not know WHO we can trust anymore.

I choose to bet my life, the very little I have left of it, again on SCIENCE that is from large teaching institutions with valid ethics committees, from people born with high I.Q.s who continued to study for years after most of us stopped.

I hope next year we all don't have grasshoppers emerge from our navels.

No, it is reported at least six months. That’s as long as it has been used so far. You can’t say it will be effective for two years if it hasn’t been administered for two years yet. SMDH so what if you need a booster shot. You got a flu shot every year

The day I was due for 2nd injection I had medical emergency. Now what? How long AFTER 1st shot can I wait? My Dr didn't give me an answer I'm comfortable with? Was going to mall in Leesburg can't get anyone on phone either?

With covid 19 shots, the reality is there is no definite answers. Yet, we, including myself,
demand them. My, opinion, my life view, there are no do overs. There are several different shots being delivered. "Going to mall in Leesburg," I assume that is where you got the first shot and you missed the second appointment.

Were it me, I would show up and see if they will give you a second shot. It is mass delivery but they have been helpful and accommodating.

VERY UNTRUE! Where have you seen this? The article actually says that this may even be a LIFETIME vaccine..


How long will coronavirus vaccines protect people? (https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/how-long-will-coronavirus-vaccines-protect-people/ar-BB1ficm1?ocid=msedgntp)

The fact is that this is a new (corona) virus and no one actually knows how long the vaccine will last in our bodies. Some doctors have suggested the vaccine will slowly decrease and that we may need a yearly booster, similar to the yearly flu shots. This "book" has yet to be written.

I just got my 2nd dose and feel horrible. Not sure if I would do it again. Its rough

I had a 102.6 fever 14 hours after the second dose and I felt WONDERFUL knowing I will have immunity 2 weeks later. The fever was nothing I could not deal with. I took a nap and later that night the temp went down to normal.
