Updated recommendations for vaccination against coronavirus have been approved.

Revaccination is recommended after 6-12 months not for everyone, but for people at risk:
The need for revaccination is determined by the doctor, taking into account the recommendations approved by the Ministry of Health. People who have completed the basic vaccination course in previous years (*two or three vaccinations, depending on the vaccine) and received the 4th or 5th booster vaccination last year can continue to be vaccinated free of charge
