The second dose for Moderna is given 28 days after the first, and the second dose for Pfizer is given 21 days after the first. If you receive either of these vaccines, you will need to schedule your second dose. Schedulers are available at the vaccination clinics to help you schedule this second dose.

More information on 3rd doses for immunocompromised patients and booster vaccinations
