HANOI, Dec 20 (Vietnam News/ANN): The Vietnamese health ministry has reduced the waiting time between the second Covid-19 vaccine dose of the primary course and the booster shot.

Instead of six months, the latest booster guidelines say the third jab can be administered just three months after people received their second shot.
