8 weeks is a good interval for 5-11y old's second vaccine dose

We recommend that children have two doses of the vaccine 8 weeks apart because it offers:

‍

1. Protection from the first dose/strong

‍

2. Better protection with a longer gap

‍

3. Reduced side effects

‍

More information can be found in the 8 week interval for 5 to 11y old vaccination resource.
