MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): Fully vaccinated healthcare workers will start receiving a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine on Wednesday (Nov 17) and they will be followed soon by the elderly and people with comorbidities, according to the Department of Health (DOH) and the National Task Force Against Covid-19 (NTF).
Only three vaccines—produced by Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Sinovac — were approved for what the DOH called as the “heterologous vaccine strategy,” which would allow a jab from any of the approved brands on fully inoculated individuals who may have been first injected with a different brand.
