Covid-19: Bulgaria cuts time interval before booster shot to three months
Bulgaria’s Health Ministry has approved a number of recommendations made by an expert council with regards to the country’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign, including the reduction of the time interval before the administration of a Covid-19 vaccine booster shot to three months.
The interval for individuals who received the one-shot Janssen vaccine is two months.
People who have recovered from Covid-19 can receive their first vaccine three months after the date of the lab confirmation of of the Covid-19 diagnosis, according to the new guidelines.
Additionally, those who have contracted the disease after the first shot of a two-shot vaccine can receive their second dose no sooner than three months after the lab confirmation of the diagnosis, the ministry said.
