COVID-19: Medical professionals, frontline health staff and senior citizens with comorbidities can take the "precaution dose" from January 10
People above 60 with comorbidities do not need to show a doctor certificate or prescription to show they belong to the high-risk category to be eligible for a "precaution dose" against COVID-19. Medical professionals, frontline health staff and senior citizens with comorbidities can take the "precaution dose" from January 10.
The centre announced the move to administer "precaution doses" amid concern over the highly transmissible variant Omicron.
"Doctor certificate/prescription not required to establish comorbidity; doctors advice an indication for 60+ persons to consult with their doctors before opting for a precaution dose," the Health Ministry said in a statement today.
