In order for more Victorians to receive their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, it is now recommended dose 2 of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty™) is administered 6 weeks after dose 1.

Individuals who currently have their second dose of Comirnaty™ booked do not need to reschedule their appointments.

This change only applies in Victoria.
