DOH shortens interval for COVID-19 booster shots

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III announced on Wednesday that the interval for administering booster doses has been shortened, effective immediately.

Under the new policy, boosters can be given three months after the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or two months after a single-dose vaccine.

Duque emphasized the need to prioritize vaccination among those who have not yet received their primary series in light of more transmissible variants like Omicron.
