PUTRAJAYA, June 29 — Moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals aged between five and 17 are recommended to receive a third dose of Covid-19 vaccine to complete the three-dose primary vaccination series, said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
Khairy said the TWG recommended that the booster dose for individuals with moderate to severe immunocompromised conditions aged between 12 and 17 be re-categorised as the third dose and complement the primary vaccination.
