Where did you read 6-8 months between? I’ve just seen the timespan between shots be listed as 1 month almost everywhere.

I was basing the comment in some other vaccines - Sorry I did not state it. I hope I'm wrong and it's much shorter time :)

Can you also share some of those sources you mention? Thanks!
