What is the interval between the covid-19 vaccine and another vaccine?

Question

How long should I wait between vaccinations? I am pregnant and getting the whooping cough vaccine soon. How long do I have to wait between the pertussis vaccine and my second dose of covid-19? I have in mind 4 weeks, but is that right?

Hi, thanks for your question, and congratulations on the pregnancy :)! The Quebec Immunization Committee recommends spacing any of the COVID-19 vaccines by at least 2 weeks, before or after. However, it is not recommended to delay your 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. So this 2 week delay is only if it is possible for you to meet this interval. Otherwise, do not postpone your 2nd dose of COVID vaccine It should be noted that the pertussis vaccine will be more effective if given between the 26th and 32nd week of pregnancy. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
