After several months of uncertainty about how to continue with the
vaccination against Covid
, the Government finally reported on Wednesday the way in which the vaccine should continue to be applied.
That is,
who
should continue to be vaccinated and
how
often.
The population was divided into
high, medium and low
, so the first group should continue to be vaccinated more frequently, while the third can only do so once a year.
The intermediate group will have a different regimen.
This was defined, as explained by the Ministry of Health, by the National Immunization Commission (CoNaIn) and with the consensus of the holders of the health portfolios of the 24 provinces.
"The reinforcement strategy is essential to maintain adequate protection in order to prevent complications, hospitalizations and deaths from this disease," the Ministry said.
Within the groups at
high risk of developing severe forms of disease
(people 50 years of age or older, people with immunocompromised and pregnant people) should receive a booster dose against COVID-19 if 6 months have elapsed since the last dose applied.
This is regardless of the number of boosters previously received and respecting the minimum interval of
at least 4 months
from the last dose.
According to the federal immunization registry, 9,314,083 people age 50 and older have not received a booster dose in the past 6 months.
People under 50 years of age with comorbidities (chronic diseases and obesity) and people at higher risk of exposure (health care workers) and strategic role are included in the medium risk group of experiencing severe illness or death from COVID-19 infection. .
The recommendation for this group is that they receive
a new booster 6 months
after the last dose applied, and then an annual booster.
Booster vaccination against COVID-19 is available to
people considered to be at low risk of complications, that is,
under 50 years of age without comorbidities , and it is recommended that it be applied annually.
The Ministry of Health urged the population to "update the application of booster doses against COVID-19 and place special emphasis on the opportunity to co-administer the vaccines against COVID-19 and influenza as the main strategy in prioritized groups, recalling that protection conferred by vaccination is not immediate, but requires at least 14 days to generate adequate protection".
