You need 2 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, and you need to leave 3 weeks ( if you are over 12 ) or 8 weeks ( 5 - 11 year old ) between your first and second dose.
BOOSTER ( 3rd shot ) - your Covid-19 1st Booster is 3 months after your second dose. Booster shots are only for 16 years and older.
SECOND BOOSTER ( 4th shot ) - Your Covid-19 Second Booster is 6 months after your 1st Booster.
The majority of routine vaccinations can now be administered before, after, or at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccinations. The exception to this is the Zostavax (shingles) vaccine where a 7-day gap before or after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 is advised. If you have any questions, please discuss with your health provider.
You need to wait at ( or outside ) the pharmacy 15 minutes after your vaccine.
