Dose 4 of the vaccine against the Coronavirus has been an intense topic of debate in recent months, and this is because as the BA.4 and BA.5 variants of the virus continued to spread rapidly, it was overlooked that the vaccines no longer it prevents the spread, and the emphasis is on high protection against hospitalization and serious forms.
Dose 4 of the vaccine against the Coronavirus, or the second booster, was until recently only recommended for people over 79 years old, or those whose immune system is severely affected, but now the European Medicines Agency, as well as the European Center for Disease Control, I recommend it to anyone over 60 years old.
The change in strategy regarding the recommendation of the 4th dose of the vaccine against the Coronavirus is based on the desire of the European institutions to protect all the people who need protection during this period when the number of infections is very high, and there are many millions who fall into this category at the moment from all over Europe.
The recommendation of the European institutions regarding the 4th dose of the vaccine against the Coronavirus should also be made by the Romanian authorities at some point, if they want, but in the meantime Romanians can get the 4th dose of the vaccine wherever and whenever they want, at any of the family doctors who are vaccinating against the Coronavirus now.
