- Covid vaccine: Eight-week gap seen as the sweet spot for Pfizer jab antibodies
- A longer gap between first and second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine makes the body's immune system produce more infection-fighting antibodies, UK researchers have found.
- Experts say the findings support the UK's decision on extending dosing intervals from the initial recommendation of three weeks.
- An eight-week gap seems to be the sweet spot for tackling the Delta variant.
- The UK initially extended the dosing gap to 12 weeks at the end of 2020.
- But as the vaccination program has been rolled out through the age groups - everyone over 18 has now been offered at least their first jab - people have been encouraged to bring their second jab forward and get it after eight weeks.
- How many under-30s are unvaccinated?
- The government-funded work is published in a pre-print paper not yet peer-reviewed.
