On 24 August, the ministry began giving a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines to 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.
The first few months of the booster phase programme will focus on individuals most at risk of severe infection, which includes people over 65 years old and those with chronic conditions, which increases their risk for severe COVID-19 including frontline healthcare workers.
