Post-vaccination concerns
When should I have my second vaccine?

For Astra Zeneca vaccines, the current advice is to have the two doses between 4-6 weeks apart. (Updated 26 August 2021)

However the vaccine has been shown to have a stronger and longer lasting protection against COVID-19 when given at 12 weeks rather than earlier. However in view of the outbreak in NSW, ATAGI has now recommended to get the second dose from 4-6 weeks. For more information on what to expect after your Astra Zeneca vaccine, please click here. 

If you receive Comirnaty (Pfizer) your second dose should be at least three weeks after the first. The second dose is likely to prolong the duration of protection against COVID-19. For more information on what to expect after your Pfizer vaccine, please click here. 

How to get proof of your Covid-19 vaccinations
