Administration of the 2nd dose

The 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine is necessary. It provides optimal protection in the longer term. Administering the 2nd dose is important and will be offered to everyone. Although a shorter delay between the 1st and 2nd dose is accepted, public health recommends an interval of 4 weeks for the 2nd dose of Pfizer or Moderna and 8 weeks for the 2nd dose of AstraZeneca.

More details. 

Administering an additional dose

For some people, three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are necessary. For further information, see the Additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine for people on dialysis or with weakened immune systems and Booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine pages.
