2nd dose people - how long was gap between first and second jab?

Realise those who book via national booking system tend to book 2nd at same time, between 11 and 12 weeks.

Those invited by GP led services tend to get called back and given the appointment not long before the 2nd jab. Just wondered how long your gap between jabs ended up being please? And did you hear much before the actual 2nd appointment?

I’m asking because I’m hearing 2nd jabs are often being brought forward but just wondered how common that is and also if it varies according to which jab you received.

Thanks.

I guess if some have done up to 45yo then second doses are maybe all they can do.
Mine is set at 12w which when you have kids isnt ideal as they are bound to get ill and need isolating

I booked through the GP. I called them the other day to find out what was going on as I’m 7 weeks post first dose and haven’t heard a thing. They told me they’ll contact me at around 10 weeks to book me in for the 12 week mark.

I should add, I also queried the Pfizer supply with them as I’ve read about people’s appointments being cancelled on here. They said they have no issues and have Pfizer 2nd doses reserved for everyone.

I’m in Wales and had 11 weeks between my 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine

Mine is booked for 11.5 weeks after the first.

6 weeks, Pfizer.

Apologies as this is a relatively old thread. Has anyone had their second vaccine after 12 weeks?

No, but the efficacy data for AZ suggests that that might be optimal.
