Clarification on teens and second booster shots

A SECOND booster shot is recommended for moderately or severely immunocompromised teenagers aged between 12 and 17, says Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali.

“Adolescents aged between 12 and 17 who are moderately or severely immunocompromised and have their conditions confirmed by a specialist at the Health Ministry or the private sector will be considered for a third dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at an interval of at least eight weeks from the second dose,” he said.
