The Ministry of Public Health will begin, as of Wednesday 15 September, to administer Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine booster doses for all high-risk individuals who had their second dose of the vaccine more than eight months ago.
On 24 August, the Ministry began giving a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines to people certain immunocompromised individuals, because they may not get the level of immunity from a two-dose vaccine series compared to people who are not immunocompromised.
