Omicron recovered people can have booster dose after three months: MoPH
Gulf Times
The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on Saturday said individuals with Covid-19 infection confirmed by PCR or rapid antigen test during the present Omicron wave are eligible for a booster vaccination after the completion of three months from the date of infection.
However, it is safe and viable for those who wish, to have their booster dose one month after infection, MoPH added.
The one-month period between infection and administration of the booster dose is needed to allow the individual to fully recover from the infection before receiving the vaccine.
Individuals who have recovered from Covid-19, and have an offi- cial test result from a Ministry-approved medical center, are given nine months extension of the immunity period and are eligible for the same privileges as vaccinated people under the current Covid-19 rules, the Ministry said. Their Recovered Status will be reflected on their Ehteraz app and will remain valid for 9 months based on the current rules.
