The Christian County Health Department on Wednesday asked the public to wait 28 days before scheduling their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The health department is administering the Moderna vaccine, which like Pfizer, requires two doses in order to achieve the optimal 95% efficacy exhibited in clinical trials. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the second dose should be administered 28 days later.
However, as countries face the possibility of vaccine shortages, several health organizations have adjusted vaccine protocols despite the fact those such changes have not been studied in large clinical trials.
