According to the minister, today both revaccination and booster doses are allowed in Ukraine in order to avoid a severe course of the disease.

It is optimal to administer the revaccination dose between the 181st and 270th day from the last dose. Whereas an additional dose of vaccine can be given 28 days after the main course of vaccination, explained Lyashko.
