The Ministry of Health and Social Development is inviting persons over the age of 65, essential workers, and immunocompromised individuals to pre-register for COVID-19 vaccine boosters.
Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ronald Georges said that at this time the Pfizer vaccine is being prioritised for use as a third dose or booster. Persons seeking a booster dose with AstraZeneca should know that those boosters are being reserved for persons with medical contra-indications to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Most persons will be receiving Pfizer for their third dose or their booster vaccine,” Dr. Georges explained.
Persons are invited to pre-register for booster doses using the link redcap.link/GetBoosted.
Once the registration is completed persons should take the printed registration form with them to their vaccination appointment. Initial priority will be given to those over 65, essential workers, and the immunocompromised.
A separate announcement will be made to let persons know when booster vaccination administration will commence and when other groups can begin registration.
