The demand to be able to administer the booster shot more quickly has been increasing over the past week. Certainly now that it appears that the omikron variant of the coronavirus is also spreading rapidly in our country and may have supplanted the delta variant within a month. Limited studies have also shown that a booster injection protects better against the omikron variant.
Earlier this evening, the Superior Health Council and the vaccination task force recommended sending the invitations for the booster shot 4 months after the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna. In practice, this will come down to a booster shot at least after approximately 4.5 months. The waiting period was now 6 months.
