Doha: Over 100,000 COVID-19 booster vaccines administered in Qatar till now, the Ministry of Public Health announced today.
The Primary Health Care Corporation is directly contacting eligible people to set an appointment for their COVID-19 booster vaccine.
If you are eligible and have not yet been contacted, call the PHCC hotline on 4027 7077.
The Ministry tweeted that “anyone who had their second covid19 vaccine dose more than 6 months ago is eligible for a booster vaccine”.
It also explained that clinical evidence shows that protective immunity from the first two vaccine doses begins to decline after 6 months, and booster vaccines increase immunity and provide long-term protection.
