They start vaccinating with a booster dose of medical staff

There should be an interval of at least 4 months after the first booster dose before the second booster dose.

Vaccinations should primarily involve healthcare professionals who have direct contact with patients and infectious material, or who are exposed to SARS-COV-2 infection.

Medical workers in animal treatment facilities are also vaccinated.

Only mRNA vaccines are used in the second booster:
- Comirnates (Pfizer-BioNTech) in full dose (30 µg - 0.3 ml)
- Spikevax (Moderna) half dose (50 µg - 0.25 ml).
For the second booster dose, the same Comirnata (Pfizer-BioNTech) or Spikevax (Moderna) mRNA preparation that was delivered with the first booster dose is recommended.
