AMMAN — Secretary-General of Epidemiological Affairs
at the
Ministry of Health Adel Al-Belbisi said 63 percent of citizens aged 18
and above received one dose of vaccine and 57 percent got two jabs, predicting on
Saturday on Al-Mamlaka TV that getting the COVID-19 vaccine will likely become
part of the national vaccination program, and “most probably, a seasonal
vaccine.”

Belbisi also said that “it is essential for individuals over
18 years of age who had their second shot more than six months ago to proceed
with the booster vaccine”.
The Ministry of Health has started giving the third shot, cautioning
that immunity begins to weaken six months after receiving the second shot and urging
people to take the third shot to boost their resistance to the virus.
The ministry said it is preferable for people to get a
booster of the same vaccine they had received, unless they suffered from severe
side effects, in which case “it is possible to substitute that type with
another.”
