The Minister of Health also shared that the administration of the second COVID-19 booster vaccination will be opened voluntarily starting 15th June 2022. This is taking into account the findings of scientific studies that show the elderly and those with immunocompromised conditions are at higher risk of getting severe effects from COVID-19 infection despite having received the first booster vaccination.
The second booster vaccination will be opened for adults aged 80 and above; adults aged 60 and above and with chronic diseases; those who are aged 18 above with immunocompromised conditions; and healthcare workers and frontliners who are exposed to high risk infection. The administration of the second booster dose of COVID-19 will be available at vaccination centres and will only be administered five months after the first booster dose of COVID-19. Individuals who meet the above criteria are welcome to get this extra dose.
