Those who have just recovered from Covid-19 may now get their vaccine booster doses immediately, according to health authorities.ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd CEO Anas Alam Faizli said patients were now allowed to take their booster doses immediately after recovery and upon consultation by the vaccinating doctor.
Previously, newly recovered Covid-19 patients who were fully vaccinated earlier had their booster dose appointments postponed for three months to ensure that they received optimum protection from the jab.Cases of Covid-19 being contracted after full vaccination were referred to as breakthrough infections.
There are approximately 7.5 million unboosted adults in Malaysia and this includes 835,000 senior citizens aged 60 above and 2.1 million fully-vaccinated Sinovac recipients."Please get the booster now and protect your family," he said, adding that the most vulnerable segments of society needed to be protected from Covid-19.
