The World Health Organization (WHO) Vaccine Advisory Group has proposed to temporarily postpone the vaccine injection produced by Pfizer / BioNTech, according to MedicalXpress.
It is clarified that such a step can be taken in an exceptional case, in order to cover the maximum possible number of patients under conditions of drug shortage.
The instructions for the vaccine say that a second injection must be given 21-28 days after the first. However, the WHO considered it possible to postpone this for an additional several weeks.
Earlier on January 5 it was reported about the death of two volunteers in Norway who tested yourself this drug.

Not long before that, information appeared that the deputy head of a hospital in the suburbs of Athens had received a vaccination from coronavirus and a few days later was in intensive care for artificial ventilation.
