They stated that a minimum of four months must pass from the application of the third dose to be vaccinated with the fourth component, both in the nation and overseas.

The appropriate amount is intended for people aged 5 and up, according to the body and cause. Pediatric Pfizer would be used for kids ages 5 to 11 years old; Pfizer will be used for teenagers aged 12 to 17, as well as expectant adolescents aged 12 weeks and up, and the other systems will be utilised for persons aged 18 and up.

Similarly, children and teenagers must be escorted by one of their parents or guardians, who must present their identification card, a copy of their birth records or household book, or, in the event of a guardianship or temporary parent, a duplicate of the judicial decision. If the affiliation is not supported by a birth certificate or other document, the mature partner should sign an affidavit certifying the connection or degree of relation.
