Seeing reports France decided officially to only give 1 dose to people who had Covid prior.

The Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine can now be stored in normal freezers, the company announced this morning, paving the way for less logistical confusion surrounding the vaccine, which caused thousands of doses to be thrown out.

New research and data released by the companies proved that the vaccine generates robust immunity after one dose and can be stored in ordinary freezers instead of at ultracold temperatures.

PSA: Covid Vaccine Reaction!
This happened yesterday and is important information for those of us whom happen to be over 65.

Note: I realize all recipients of this are NOT over 65 but thought you might want a clue what it will be like someday when you reach it.

A friend had his 2nd dose of the vaccine at the vaccination center after which he began to have blurred vision on the way home.

When he got home, he called the vaccination center for advice and to ask if he should go see a doctor, or be hospitalized.

He was told NOT to go to a doctor or a hospital, but just return to the vaccination center immediately and pick up his glasses.

Canada is making people wait 16 weeks between Pfizer shots.

Because of rationing?

NY's vaccinefinder.nyc.gov specifies which one is used at the site, you can use ctrl f to highlight the ones you want

Is it more advisable to get the second pfizer dose a few days early or a few weeks late? ETA: if you can't get it on time

I believe based on a @biobook post it makes more sense to get it very late than very early, but based on the CHEMED interview of Dr. Paul Offit (immunologist from CHOP, he’s also on the FDA vaccine approval board) less than 4 days early or late really doesn’t matter.

BTW this is the policy with All/most vaccines, they have a grace period of 4 days

I googled to back up my words
Quote
Q4: If a dose of vaccine was received before the minimum age or interval, does the dose
need to be repeated?
A4: Yes, the dose needs to be repeated or serological evidence of immunity obtained (where
acceptable under NYS school immunization regulations) if a dose of vaccine was
administered more than 4 calendar days before the recommended minimum age or
interval. Students whose immunization records show invalid intervals between doses of
vaccine as specified by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) catchup schedule can be considered "in process."

Why specifically Pfizer?

You can try calling drug stores and see which one they use.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I don't remember saying anything like that, but I forget a lot of what I say soon after.  I vaguely remember someone else quoting CDC (can't remember who it was) so I just looked it up there, and this is their advice:
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/clinical-considerations.html

"The second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible, but not earlier than recommended (i.e., 3 weeks [Pfizer-BioNTech] or 1 month [Moderna]). However, second doses administered within a grace period of 4 days earlier than the recommended date for the second dose are still considered valid. If it is not feasible to adhere to the recommended interval and a delay in vaccination is unavoidable, the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines may be administered up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose. Currently, only limited data are available on efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered beyond this window."

I think that they mean that these two choices (4 d earlier, up to 6 wk later) are equally good for reaching optimal antibody/immunity that will persist for a relatively long term.  So if your second shot is scheduled for March 19, you could get it as soon as March 15 or as late as April 30, and your antibody levels would be equally as good in May-December, or maybe even beyond that. 

But you may be more concerned about what happens in the short term, in March-April.  If you want to be around people during that March15-April 30 interval, and if these are people who could potentially infect you, or people who are vulnerable and may be infected by you, that it would be better to get that second dose earlier, so that you get that boost in antibody sooner during that interval.
