Extending intervals between vaccine doses could leave people vulnerable to infection by one of the Covid variants in circulation, says Dr. Anthony Fauci, the medical advisor to the United States President , told NDTV on friday.
“The ideal interval between doses for mRNA vaccines is three weeks for Pfizer and four for Moderna. The problem with extending intervals is that you become vulnerable to variants”, he said.
“….and we have seen that in the UK, where they extended that interval, in that period you can get infected by the variants. So we recommend staying on schedule,” Dr.Fauci explained.
