When to get your second dose
With the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, you need 2 doses to get the most protection:
Pfizer-BioNTech doses should be given 3 weeks (21 days) apart
For example, if you got a Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday February 2, your second dose is due on Tuesday February 23.
Moderna doses should be given 4 weeks (28 days) apart
For example, if you got a Moderna vaccine on Tuesday
February 2, your second dose is due
on Tuesday March 2.
Your second dose should be given as close to this recommended interval as possible. However, if
this is not possible, the second dose may be given up to 6 weeks (42 days) after
the first dose.
The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen (J&J) vaccine only needs one dose.
What to bring to the appointment
Remember to bring your white vaccine record card or electronic vaccine record AND a photo ID. Long Term Care Facility Residents should bring their
vaccine referral letter.
