BERLIN, Jan 4 (Reuters) - The German health ministry is
seeking advice on whether to delay administering a second dose
of the COVID-19 vaccine from BioNTech and Pfizer
to make scarce supplies go further, according to a
document seen by Reuters on Monday.
The ministry is seeking the view of an independent
vaccination commission on whether to delay a second shot beyond
a 42-day maximum now foreseen, after a similar move by Britain,
according to the one-page document.
