Roselucia’s Question
I am 27 years old, should I take a 3rd dose of the Covid-19 vaccine?
Hello Rose-Lucie,
The answer is yes. In order to deal with the fifth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Ministry of Health followed the recommendations of the High Health Authority which recommended the booster dose, known as the “third dose”, of the anti-Covid vaccine. , for anyone of legal age. The government is following the recommendations of the High Authority of Health of November 25, 2021.
Since December 28, the booster vaccine can be administered to all adults 3 months after the last vaccine injection (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or AstraZeneca) and 4 weeks after the single injection of Janssen as specified on the service-public site .Fr.
The booster vaccination concerns all people aged 18 and over from 3 months after the last injection of the initial vaccination schedule or after a Covid-19 infection if this took place after vaccination. People vaccinated with Janssen should receive an additional injection as early as 4 weeks after their vaccination, then a booster dose as early as 3 months after this.
It should be noted that the booster dose also concerns young people aged 12 to 17 who are immunocompromised or have a high-risk pathology or a comorbidity.
