CDC Recommendations for Vaccine Intervals
CDC has now updated vaccine interval recommendations for both mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer has a recommended interval of 3-8 weeks between dose 1 and dose 2 in the primary series. Moderna has a recommended interval of 4-8 weeks between dose 1 and dose 2 in the primary series. More information is on vaccine schedules is available here. Our understanding from CMS is that additional documentation is not required for determining compliance with the CMS vaccine mandate for staff members who may opt for an extended interval
