Explained: The gap between vaccine jabs
Amid signs of a vaccine shortage and rising Covid-19 cases, would it make sense to raise the gap between doses?

How do you decide the right time to give a vaccine?
It really depends on the vaccine. A lot also depends on whether you’ve had prior exposure — whether there are pre-existing antibodies. For example, when you give a live vaccine and you’ve had prior exposure… or if it’s a child and the mother’s antibodies have been passed through the placenta, then you’ll have an immune response that’s not very good.

It doesn’t matter so much for inactivated vaccines, but it matters a lot for live vaccines. That’s one of the reasons why we give measles vaccines so late — we expect the maternal antibodies to have disappeared by the time we immunise at nine months.
How do you decide the best interval between doses?
For vaccines requiring multiple doses, the dose usually induces an immune response about three weeks later, but it can take up to eight weeks or longer for the antibodies to mature and become fully functional.

If you look at the basic principles of vaccination, there is no maximum interval defined for vaccines. You have recommended intervals, but you can give a second dose at any time. At the same time… you don’t want to go less than three, preferably four, weeks between doses.
Its the last dose of vaccine, to whom are you going to give the last shot, to a young person or to a senior citizen.
As we all know that senior citizens are much respective than young person but the young persons are only the future of our world not the senior citizens but also we have to think about the age difference the age differ for 20-25 years, do senior citizens are much respective they should be treated as well as young citizens but in the other hand of thinking the future of the world we must also be concerned about the young person, in my point of view I will consider our future as well so the last 2 days of vaccine should be given to to young person because it's the future of our world and it the question to save our future.
