WHO issues new guidelines on fourth dose against Covid (VIDEO)

Date:

In the wake of another wave of Covid-19, a fourth dose should be administered against the pandemic, said Director General of Health Services Specialist Dr. Hemantha Herath, speaking to a briefing today (25).

Despite the Pfizer vaccine being met with expiration at the end of July this year, international organisations including the World Health Organisation have approved the recommendation made by the company that manufactures Pfizer that the vaccine can be administered for another three months, Dr. Herath revealed.

The DGHS, who urges the public to get vaccinated with the fourth dose, accordingly, has recommended that Pfizer is appropriate for the month of October through a circular.
