The National Command and Control Centre (NCOC) announced its decision to lower the age limit for the administration of Covid-19 booster shot for people who got both their shots six months back. Pakistanis aged 30 or above can now get a booster shot of their own choice across Pakistan from January 1, 2022.
Only Sinopharm, Sinovac, and Pfizer will be given as booster shots. The booster shot will be administered free of cost.
Health workers, immunocompromised people and anyone above or of the age of 30 years is eligible for a booster shot.
Earlier this month, NCOC had approved a booster shot of Covid-19 vaccines for healthcare workers, those aged over 50 years, and immunocompromised people.
