Adapted vaccines against Omicron are now in our country

We remind you that the Ministry of Health (MOH) approved the recommendations of the Expert Council on Immunoprophylaxis Supervision for the use of vaccines against COVID-19 for primary immunization and for a booster dose.

According to the recommendations for primary vaccination, Comirnaty or Spikevax mRNA vaccines against the original variant of SARS-CoV-2 or the Janssen vector vaccine (JCOVDEN) are administered.

At a booster dose, an adapted mRNA vaccine Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.1 or Spikevax Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.1 is administered.

Adapted vaccines are given to people aged 12 years and over at the earliest three months after completing the primary course of vaccination or after a booster has been administered.

A booster dose of an adapted mRNA vaccine is strongly recommended for people 12 years of age and older who have received at least a primary immunization (vaccination course completed), regardless of the type of COVID-19 vaccine administered: immunocompromised;

transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy;

chronic dialysis patients;

patients with oncohematological diseases;

users and staff in social institutions providing long-term care for the elderly;

medical professionals involved in the treatment of patients with COVID-19;

elderly people aged 65 and over;

people over 12 years of age who received their last dose of COVID-19 vaccine (whether to complete primary immunization or a booster dose) more than six months ago.
