— Experts point to longer interval between doses providing more robust immunity
Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, said on CNN Monday night that a 3-week interval between the first and second doses of Pfizer's mRNA vaccine, for instance, may not have been enough time to spur an extended immune response, with the initial shots acting only as a primary immunization.
An 8-month lag, on the other hand, could boost immunity significantly, Hotez said, with the potential to yield high levels of virus-neutralizing antibody and an immune response that is "really robust."
"That may be it for a while, we may not need annual boosters," Hotez said. "This could be the third and done."
Since it's typical for antibodies to wane over time, it's common for vaccines to be administered in multiple doses over a longer time period. People get three shots over a 6-month period for hepatitis B, for instance, and a four-dose regimen is recommended for polio.
"In fact, it is unusual to give a one-dose, give-and-go vaccine," John Moore, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, told MedPage Today. "Most vaccines require at least two shots."

But how this is the 1st time we hearing anybody saying this? How was this one shot fda approved? Is Johnson and Johnson just more technologically advanced that they could've made one vaccine that performing just as good two?

they plan on lying to MOH? what happens when they get that verification call?
Dohplaydat wrote:Also, don't quote me on this, but I recall seeing a top doctor or researcher explicitly state there is nothing harmful about mixing vaccines.
I'm not the one doing this and normally I would not recommend it, but if vaccine hesitancy remains high and vaccines are in danger of expiring then let them go for Pfizer.
I know many who are considering it and as far as I know MoH has no digital records tying vaccines to you.
I also see on Facebook this girl lost she vaccine card and saying she going for Pfizer.
Is there a mechanism inplace for lost vaccination cards!

Recommendations for those vaccinated with vaccines not authorized by Health Canada
Offering one additional dose of an mRNA vaccine for those who have had a complete or incomplete course/series of a non-Health Canada authorized vaccine fulfils these criteria.
If the person has had an incomplete series of a non-Health Canada authorized vaccine, the addition of one mRNA vaccine will be considered a complete series.
If the person has had a complete course/series of a non-Health Canada authorized vaccine, the mRNA vaccine is expected to optimize protection.
If the individual has already received three doses of any COVID-19 vaccine, no further doses would be recommended at this time.
This recommendation will be revisited as further evidence becomes available.
Individuals planning to stay in Canada for longer periods of time (i.e., to live, work or study in Canada) who have received one or two doses of a non-Health Canada authorized vaccine should be offered one additional dose of an mRNA vaccine soon after arrival in Canada.

Speaking at a media conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann's on Saturday, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh announced that teachers and healthcare workers are now eligible for the Pfizer vaccine.st7 wrote:anyone knows when the pfizer vaccines are expiring?

Trial results are expected in the first half of 2022.
Vaccine developer Novavax said on Wednesday it has initiated an early-stage study to test its combined flu and Covid-19 vaccine.
The trial, to be conducted in Australia, will enroll 640 healthy adults between the ages of 50 and 70 years and who have either been previously infected with the coronavirus or given an authorized Covid-19 vaccine at least eight weeks prior to the study.
Participants will receive a combination of the company's Covid-19 vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373, and its Influenza shot NanoFlu along with an adjuvant or vaccine booster.

WHO says Covid will mutate like the flu and is likely here to stay
“People have said we’re going to eliminate or eradicate the virus,” Ryan said. “No we’re not, very, very unlikely.”
