In a news release Saturday, the Ontario Health Ministry said it decided to accelerate the second dose interval after consulting with the chief medical health officer and other experts, including the Ontario Science Advisory Table. “You’ve enabled people to make the choice to get that second dose at eight weeks should they choose to do so. If people select to get an mRNA vaccine, we need to see an increase in pharmacies’ supply for Pfizer and Moderna. Those who want an mRNA vaccine for their second dose can book an appointment through the provincial booking system, through public health units or a participating pharmacy. Those want to receive a second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine can contact the pharmacy or primary care provider where they got their first dose.
