The government has revised the vaccination schedule for the "Vaccine Pass" to update the requirements for the third shot.
The government originally planned to require the third injection to be administered 9 months after the second injection, but today (20th) tightened the grace period between the two injections to 6 months, and moved the third phase forward by one month to 5 March 31.
In other words, citizens who only received the second shot at the end of November last year can still receive a supplementary shot two months after the implementation of the third stage under the old arrangement, but the new arrangement will have to receive the third shot by the end of May next year, in order to meet the needs of the third stage. The three-phase new timetable is "aligned".
