When we vaccinate a large part of our population twice, then, of course, it will be expedient to talk about the third dose. Such a statement made today the Head of the National Center for Disease Control.

“The UAE, Israel and the US are now deciding to have a booster 8 months after the second vaccination. These countries have 60% of the population vaccinated 2 times.

When we vaccinate a large part of our population twice, then, of course, it will be expedient to talk about the third dose. Let’s not take away the vaccine as the third dose from people who need 2 doses. A sufficient amount of vaccine is with us, it"s gradually coming in, but let’s talk about that in late October, early November.

In my opinion, during this pandemic, a booster will be needed. Yet, there is no evidence that this will be after 6-8-10 months”, - said Amiran Gamkrelidze.
