Germany mulls delaying second COVID-19 vaccine shot, Denmark approves delay
Separately, Denmark approved on Monday a delay of up to six weeks between the first and second shots of the vaccine.
In Berlin, the health ministry was seeking the view of an independent vaccination commission on whether to delay a second shot beyond a current 42-day maximum limit, according to a one-page document seen by Reuters on Monday.
The move came amid criticism of Health Minister Jens Spahn - including from his conservative political allies - that Germany has failed to procure enough vaccines and been too slow to ramp up its national inoculation campaign.
