Do I have to go back to the same place to get the second shot?
State officials are asking that, if possible, he receive his second dose in the same place as the first shot.
Let’s be realistic, scheduling thousands of shots every week is complicated enough as it is. Having to return all the same Oklahomans weeks later to make a second shot just complicates things.
Oklahomans who return to the same vaccine clinic where they received their first shot make it easier for the state to know where to allocate the supply of vaccines.
“He’d rather get his second shot at the same place where he got it,” Reed said. “This is due to the logistical challenges required to manage second-dose clinics and plan a proper and appropriate inventory.”
Should my second shot be exactly three or four weeks after the first?
State health leaders say you should try to get your second dose as close as possible to the recommended schedule, but it’s okay if the dose increase comes a little late.
Typically, the second dose of Pfizer is given 21 days after the first vaccine and the second dose of Moderna is given 28 days after the first vaccine.
