4th dose of the Covid-19 vaccine administered to 166 people
As of May 7th, a total of 166 people had been administered the 4th dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Administration of the 4th dose of the Covid-19 vaccine started on March 19th.
This dose is for people aged 18 or older, with weak immunity, particularly those who had immunosuppression, those who are oncologic patients, hemodialysis patients and patients who had transplants. The 4th dose is administered after medical recommendation. Patients who are facing one of these conditions can call the Vaccination Hotline (SRS Vacina – 800 210 263) and/or visit the health centres that are administering the vaccine.
A reminder that Covid-19 vaccination has been taking place at municipal health centres since the start of March. The same health centres can host all residents aged 5 or older who would like to be inoculated against Covid-19, and citizens aged 12 or older who would like to receive a booster shot (as long they have had the 2nd dose of the vaccine more than 90 days ago).
Covid-19 vaccination must be booked by calling the Vaccination Hotline (SRS Vacina – 800 210 263). Vaccination bookings can be made for any vaccination centre on the Island of Madeira.
