New data from the CDC on Monday shows that hasn&#8217;t been a problem yet, but comes with a caveat.<\/p>\n<p>Most people who have received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna are receiving the second dose on time. During the first two months of the U.S. COVID-19 vaccination program, the CDC found that 95 percent of people had completed both two-dose vaccinations within the recommended time period.<\/p>\n<p>However, the CDC said the groups prioritized to receive a shot during this period, such as health care workers and long-term care residents, had better access to a second dose because they were more likely to have been vaccinated at their work or residence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As priority groups broaden, adherence to the recommended dosing interval might decrease,&#8221; the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC recommends 21 days between doses for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and 28 days between doses for Moderna&#8217;s. But the agency has said if needed in emergency circumstances, there can be up to 42 days between doses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the main concerns with&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","category-u-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32852"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32853,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852\/revisions\/32853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
