Spain Proposes Increasing Gap Between Covid Jabs Spain Proposes Increasing Gap Between Covid Jabs Credit: Pixabay SPAIN proposes increasing the gap between Covid jabs from 21 to 42 days In a huge about-turn, the Ministry of Health in Spain has suggested delaying the period between the first Covid vaccination and second from 21 days to 42, after previously insisting they would follow the guidelines of the jab manufacturers to the letter. Now, ministers have backtracked and feel that expanding the time between doses would allow for more people to receive the first vaccine in a shorter period of time. According to Spanish daily 20 minutos, the proposal will be put to the appropriate representatives of the autonomous communities on Tuesday, April 20. The Ministry of Health has denied that the decision is already a done-deal, but the Ministry of Health is recommending that the space between inoculations with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines be doubled, from three weeks to a month and a half.
