The Peninsula
Doha: The COVID-19 booster vaccine shot would be administered to the general public but priority has been given to people over 65 years of age, and those with chronic diseases, a senior official at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has said.
Speaking to Qatar TV yesterday, Dr. Soha Al Bayat, Head of Vaccination at MoPH, noted that the third dose has been proven to be safe and effective and will not have a different side effect than the first and second doses of the vaccine.
“All members of society are among the target groups to take the third dose of the coronavirus vaccine. The priority is for the elderly and people with chronic diseases and the frontline (workers) in tackling the virus,” said Dr. Al Bayat.
