Date of taking Sputnik vaccine’s second dose is extended says Bahrain Health Ministry

The Health Ministry has announced the extension of the date of the Sputnik vaccine's second dose and rescheduling it until the arrival of the new batches. According to the Ministry, it is due to the rescheduling of production and the manufacturer's supply operations. It stressed that the extension in taking the second dose will not affect the effectiveness of the vaccine and that increasing the period between the two doses may lead to an increase in vaccination efficacy in some cases. The Ministry said that it communicated with the manufacturer to provide the necessary quantity and to ensure with it the dates of delivery of shipments to Bahrain.
