(‘The end of the pandemic is in sight’: WHO director).

In the middle of the press conference due to the shortage of medicines that is occurring in the country, the head of the Health portfolio confirmed that those over 18 years of age will be able to apply the fourth dose, four months after receiving the third dose.

The Ministry of Health authorized the application of the second booster dose only with half a dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, which are the ones that use messenger RNA technology.

(What about the drug supply in the country?).

It should be noted that the priority in vaccination will continue to be given to people with comorbidities, immunosuppressed, with disabilities, who have undergone transplants, as well as health personnel.
