Bahrain highlights importance of booster dose
In line with medical research, the National Medical Taskforce for Combatting the Coronavirus (COVID-19), highlighted the importance of taking a booster dose within a maximum of six months after completing the second dose of the Sinopharm, Pfizer-BioNtech, Sputnik V, or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
The Taskforce noted that a booster dose can increase efficacy levels and enhance the body’s immunity against COVID-19 and its variants, as well as reduce severity of symptoms and mortality rates in case of infection.
Those who meet the required criteria are encouraged to register for a booster dose by visiting the Ministry of Health’s website or via the “BeAware” app.
