The State Council took the decision on Wednesday following a recommendation from the Superior Council for Infectious Diseases.

First invitations are set to go out on Monday.

The waiting period between initial and booster shots will be reduced even further to a minimum of four months as of 3 January 2022.

Booster jabs will be made with an mRNA vaccine, meaning either Comirnaty (Pfizer/BioNTech) or Spikevax (Moderna), regardless of what a patient initially received.
