China wary about COVID-19, issues new vaccination plan
China’s National Health Commission on Monday unveiled the latest plan for COVID-19 vaccination.
The commission said the plan aims to raise the immunity levels of certain groups and further reduce the risks of severe infection and death from the virus.
The State Council Joint COVID-19 Prevention and Control Mechanism issued the plan.
It targets those aged between three and 17 who have not been infected with COVID-19 and have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
It also targeted adults who had not been infected and had not received booster shots and people who had been infected but had not been fully vaccinated.
Uninfected adults above 18 can receive the first booster shots three months after being fully vaccinated.
However, the plan said those who had previously been infected with COVID-19 but had yet to be fully vaccinated could be administered a vaccine shot three months after the infection.
