Covid-19: DF extends booster dose to everyone aged 18 and over

Starting next Monday (29), all people aged 18 or over who have already received the second dose of the vaccine against covid-19 will be able to receive the booster dose in the Federal District. Pay attention to the interval of at least five months between the second and third dose.

The announcement was made by the governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha, through his Twitter account. According to him, the federative unit received, last night (25), 86,580 doses of the immunizing agent from Pfizer for the application of a booster dose. With this, it was possible to expand the target audience of the third doses, which, until then, was formed by people aged 40 years or more.

According to Ibaneis, the Ministry of Health will send the doses gradually, as the public completes the necessary interval between doses. "As the vaccination served priority groups, including health professionals and immunosuppressed, those who have already taken the second dose for more than five months are able to receive the booster dose," he explained.
