Other groups who have received 2 doses of Sinovac vaccine are pending. The expert panel is expected to have a proposal coming out next week that. It is necessary to give to other groups as well, although the risk is less than that of frontline healthcare workers, for example, how long after 2 Sinovac injections before the 3rd dose can be given.
Dr. Sophon said that now the academic information has increased that all kinds of vaccines when injected for a while Immunity will be reduced. But the group that injected quickly by injecting first since March which is now August After about 5 months, there must be a chance to get a booster shot as well. This is usually a different vaccine from the first two doses.
In this regard, I would like the public to be relieved that Ministry of Health by a panel of experts pending which, if so, what is the conclusion? will be notified but the trend is Those who have had 2 shots of the lethal vaccine will be vaccinated at the next opportunity.
