By giving intramuscular injections 2 needles can inject the second needle 3-12 weeks away from the first dose. Data from the study found that The distance between needle 1 and needle 2 is 8-12 weeks, it is better 3-4 weeks.
Here we recommend at 8 weeks for ease of practice, e.g. age 12 up to 18 years, injections 8 weeks apart between doses 1 and 2, 5 years up to 12 years, injections 8 weeks apart.
“In the case of the sub-committee on building the landscape It is recommended to inject cross-formula 12-17 years old “Sinovac or Sino Farm + Pfizer” is also possible. is another option But if the Pfizer vaccine is enough which now have a lot The first injection should be Pfizer. and continue with the second needle Pfizer
This confirms that Past data on Pfizer injections is very safe. However, cross injections can be used in the case of people who have injected Sinovac. or Sino Farm came first I was able to inject a second needle into Pfizer, but the best way People who have not had the first injection Ask to be injected with the same mRNA type, followed by 2 needles of the same type, except for the previous lethal injection. like Sinovac or Sino Farm Had to inject a needle 2 into Pfizer. which the Royal College of Pediatricians has already issued recommendations

The Pfizer vaccine (orange cap) is rolled out each week and administered through the school system. Therefore, it is not possible to vaccinate in the target group at the same time, so the Ministry of Public Health has prepared the remaining formulas to meet the needs of children and parents who want their children to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Formula 2 For children aged 6-11 years old, the Sinovac-Pfizer cross-formula vaccine (orange cap) can be administered at 4 weeks interval between the needles.
