Second and third doses

Meanwhile, the second dose is intended for those who have completed a four-week interval if the AstraZeneca, Moderna, Sputnik V, CoronaVac and Sinopharm platforms have been applied as the first dose, while only three weeks are required for Pfizer .

As for the third dose, adolescents between 16 and 17 years of age can apply the Pfizer, as long as they have completed their vaccination schedule with a minimum interval of 4 months, as well as pregnant women with 12 weeks of gestation, who must have a minimum interval of 4 months and they will also receive the Pfizer.

Finally, for people 18 years of age and older and health personnel who have been immunized up to the second dose at home or abroad, the platforms of Pfizer, Modera and AstraZeneca are destined as booster doses.

Those that have completed an interval of 4 months may be inoculated for the third time and with any of the platforms. However, there is an exception for people who have been immunized with Janssen (J&J), since they can only receive Pfizer or Moderna and, in addition, they can do so with a minimum interval of 3 months.

For none of the cases the termination of the identity card is taken into account and the site where any of the previous doses has been applied does not influence either.

To know the list of authorized vaccinations, you can access the section of Vaccination Centers of the Ministry of Health.

Vaccination of children

Although children still cannot be vaccinated, the Covid-19 vaccination registry has already been enabled for people 5 years of age and older, through the page of www.vacunate.gov.py, since it is planned to immunize before classes start. Vaccines for the pediatric group are expected to arrive in the country in the second half of January.

Swabs with and without scheduling

At the Rubén Dumot, former Aratirú, the so-called hisopódromo, the antigen tests will continue to be carried out from 7:00 to 22:00 for people who are between the second and fourth day of symptoms of Covid-19.
