Tonight opens the platform at emvolio.gov.gr, timely scheduling an appointment for the booster dose of the vaccine against covid-19 for people over 18 years of age who have completed 5.5 months of the second dose.
The third dose will be given 6 months after the second dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca or Moderna vaccine. The booster dose is with a Pfizer mRNA vaccine or half a dose of the Moderna vaccine.
It is noted that the booster dose in those vaccinated with the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine occurs two months after vaccination with the Pfizer, Moderna (half-dose) and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
In the special group of immunosuppressed people, the booster dose is given one month after the completion of their vaccination.
The third dose started in our country in September and aims to strengthen immunity, which decreases after 6 months and the longer duration of protection. It increases the antibody response, especially important for older people and reduces the rate of coronavirus infection. For this reason, the certificate of entry indoors for vaccinated (two doses) over 60 years ceases to be valid seven months from its issuance. You will be given one month to be vaccinated with the 3rd dose after the end of the semester.
