According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the second dose of the vaccine can be administered up to 42 days, or six weeks, after the initial inoculation.

Some vaccine providers have been forced to cancel Covid-19 vaccine appointments due to the winter weather that has ravaged much of the US and caused delays in vaccine deliveries.

That can be worrisome for people who were set to receive their second dose of the two-dose Covid-19 vaccines, which are supposed to have a second inoculation administered three or four weeks after the first. But if you're one of those people, there's good news. So if your appointment for a second dose was delayed or canceled due to winter weather, there should still be time to get fully vaccinated.

They should use National Guard to just go get the vaccines. This is a terrible precedent that every time there is a weather disaster they will just stop delivering...bc there absolutely will be future weather issues. It happens. planbetter CAPublicHealth GavinNewsom
