Who will be the first to receive them?

The Public Health Commission, in which the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Health, It has been agreed authorize a fourth dose of the vaccine against coronavirus. It seems that the ministry is still betting on maintaining constant immunization at the stroke of new booster doses and it does not seem that he is willing to let many months pass between one and the other, at least in certain extremely sensitive groups. For this reason, Health and the communities have agreed to start administering these doses without waiting for the third dose of the vaccine to be administered to the entire population.

Who will be the first to receive the fourth dose of the vaccine?

The ministry has no doubt. The first for whom the fourth dose has been authorized They are the people most likely to have serious complications in case of contagion. Health has approved that immunocompromised persons receive a fourth dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 to five months from the last dose. “People who received an additional dose of mRNA vaccine because they are included in Group 7 or are people receiving treatment with immunosuppressive drugs will receive a booster dose 5 months after the last dose,” explained the Ministry of Health.

Fourth dose for the rest of the groups

At the moment, neither Health nor autonomous communities have advanced if there will be more groups to which the fourth dose of the vaccine can begin to be administered. However, and after verifying how the third dose has prevailed to fight against the Omicron variant, it is possible that as the vaccination ends with the booster doses and the months go by, the fourth dose will be extended to older age groups. .
