Venezuela to shorten time for the booster vaccine

The Venezuelan government decided to shorten the time to apply the booster vaccine against Covid-19 to four months after the main vaccine, following the recommendations of the Therapeutic Committee of the Presidential Commission against COVID-19. This was reported by the President of the Republic Nicolás Maduro.

“The booster vaccine will be every four months and it is imperative to reschedule its placement in schools, colleges and universities, in the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, health personnel in the country, to all public workers in the country, reschedule for every four months”, said Maduro.

Citizens who have already received the second dose of vaccination for four months can go to the different vaccination centers so that they can supply their booster dose.

Venezuela has enough booster vaccines

Delcy Rodríguez, Executive Vice President, also explained that the vaccination reinforcement campaign began in the country on January 3 and had been carried out after six months, but according to the monitoring of the behavior of the virus at a global level, the executive took the decision to modify the procedure.

Rodríguez assured that the country has all the necessary vaccines not only to apply the booster dose, but also for all those citizens who have not yet applied the first and second dose.

“That is why I urge all citizens, public and private sector workers, as well as security personnel and public service workers to go to vaccination centers”. Rodríguez insisted that “the vaccines for the reinforcement process are in the country.”
