The Ministry of Health made a new statement about the coronavirus vaccine. He said that the 4th dose vaccination appointments have been opened for healthcare workers and priority groups. So, when is the 4th dose of vaccine, and who is the priority group for the vaccine?
The 4th dose was defined 3 days after the 21rd dose by healthcare professionals and over 60 years of age. On the other hand, anyone over the age of 15 and those with a chronic disease over the age of 12 can also be vaccinated. It was also announced that the vaccine application was withdrawn from 3 months to 1 month after PCR positivity.
The Ministry of Health has taken some new decisions regarding the ongoing vaccination studies against the new type of corona virus (Covid-19) in Turkey.

The right of 4th dose vaccination was defined for health workers and priority groups.
