The government recently increased the wait time between the two doses of Covid-19 vaccines – Sinopharm and Sinovac – to 42 days. It must be mentioned that previously, people had to wait about three to four weeks (21-28 days) to get their second dose. The government’s directions, however, keep changing. First, it announced that everyone would have to wait for more than 40 days to get the second dose. Then, it clarified that those whose second dose is due soon would receive it on time and not be sent back. I sent some people to the F9 Park centre so that they could get their second dose. They were sent back and told to wait up to 42 days after the first dose. Can someone in the government come up with a clear policy in this regard?
