In denmark its 4 weeks between shots (atleast it was in my case).
I think I read somewhere that it needs to atleast be 3 weeks (any less is not optimal), and that upto 3-4 months, waiting longer usually produced better immune responces. Hence some saying, there could be benefits from waiting abit longer than 3 weeks (at the cost of risking, getting covid19 during the wait instead).
So if you have to wait like 3 months between jabs, that should be fine.
Yes, I think longer waits between the 2 jabs, will result in more "violent" reactions, which in turn also means immunity levels will be higher afterwards. |
Indeed, waiting three months boosts antibody levels about three times compared to waiting one month. And a whopping 18 times for waiting 45 weeks with AZ, according to a new study.
But no correlation between vaccine reactions after the second dose and immunity levels has been found so far. A pre-print from Japan did find some correlation for side-effects after the first dose and greater immunity, specifically, though.
