The Basque Government has initially stated that “it is necessary 6 months have elapsed sincea second dose (3 in the case of Astrazeneca The Janssen) And why not I know Covid has passed-19 in the last 4 weeks.

However, half an hour later, the Department of Health clarified: “5 months must elapse from the administration of the last vaccine to obtain the booster. No 6, as had been collected in the previously sent press release.”

Thus, those who received the vaccine after August 18 will not be able to be vaccinated yet. And, therefore, they must wait until five months have elapsed since the last dose.

In addition, all those who have had the disease in the last month will still have to wait: 13% of the population between 30 and 39 years old have had the disease in the last 4 weeks.
