Madrid, Jan 13 (UNI/Xinhua) The Spanish government on Thursday agreed to offer a third dose of vaccine against COVID-19 to everyone aged over 18.
Previously the "booster jab" of the vaccine had only been available for people aged 40 and over, along with those who had been given the single dose 'Janssen' vaccine, essential workers and those with immune deficiency problems.
The administration of the third dose would be "in descending age order," said Minister of Health Carolina Darias, adding that the minimum time between receiving the second and third vaccination would be reduced from six months down to five.
