a<\/a>\u00a0recommendation for booster shots, which was agreed by representatives of four professional societies.\u00a0“We forwarded the recommendation for booster shots and application of additional (third) doses of the covid-19 vaccine to the Ministry of Health, where it was already positively discussed by a clinical group,” said Chl\u00edbek.\u00a0The clinical group is an advisory body to the Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“There is still not enough data for the widespread administration of additional doses after the end of the basic scheme,” the experts said in the opinion.\u00a0They recommend that a third dose be given to people who have reduced immunity and the basic dose of vaccination may not be effective enough for them, and then to those who are at risk of disappearing immunity after the time.\u00a0The first case involves patients being treated for cancer, people after organ and stem cell transplants, without a spleen, but also, for example, those who have advanced or untreated HIV infection.\u00a0This group also includes patients who are being treated with high doses of corticosteroids, have certain types of biologic therapy, or are undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, experts recommend that a third dose be given for a new dose about four to eight weeks after the second dose of the two-dose vaccines.\u00a0The maximum interval for administration has not been established.\u00a0The same vaccine should be used.\u00a0If not available, any European-registered mRNA vaccine can be used, which are vaccines from Pfizer \/ BioNTech and Moderna.\u00a0They can also be used to revaccinate people who have received AstraZeneca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weakening of immunity over time threatens seniors over the age of 65, as well as people placed in long-term care hospitals, homes for the elderly, homes for the disabled, or homes with special regimes.\u00a0Experts in this category also include the chronically ill, who are at risk of a severe course of covid-19, as well as health professionals and social workers.\u00a0“For health professionals and social workers, we recommend revaccination, especially for those who have never had covid-19 in the past,” the experts wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These people should receive a booster dose eight to 12 months after the last dose. If they do not make it, it is possible to submit it at any time later. Experts again recommend so-called mRNA vaccines. Vaccination with the third dose will most likely be voluntary, as will previous vaccinations against covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the decision to administer the third benefit was not officially decided in the Czech Republic, according to Radio\u017eurn\u00e1l, several persons have already received it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third dose has already been introduced in Israel, Austria, Germany, and the USA, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
