The government announced on Friday that coronavirus booster doses will be given to all adults starting on Sunday at private immunization centers.
The directive means that, unlike the booster doses for healthcare workers, frontline employees, and those over 60, most adults will have to pay for the third jab.
“The ongoing free vaccination program for the first and second dose as well as the Precaution Dose to Healthcare Workers, Frontline Workers, and the 60+ population will continue and be accelerated,” according to a government statement.
According to the report, 96% of the country’s population aged 15 and over has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination, with 83% receiving both doses.
