WILLEMSTAD - After the start of the new round of vaccinations two weeks ago, it is now the turn of people aged 55 and older. They can get a repeat shot from Pfizer against the corona virus from Monday. This is reported by the Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature.
The repeat shot, or the booster injections, is for people who have received the first and second shot against corona. The vaccine is intended to ward off both the original coronavirus from Wuhan and the Omikron variant and to increase the built-up protection. Before this, people born in 1945 and people over the age of 65 have already had the opportunity to get the booster shot.
You can go for the repeat injection on November 7, 8, 10 and 11 from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 17:00. You do not need to make an appointment with the Health Department (GGD) in Zakitó for the vaccine. There must be at least three months between the last vaccination and the booster.
The ministry also reports that Curaçao now has 27 active corona cases.
