Poland allows fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine for people over 60

Poland will allow as of 22 July a fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine to be given to people over the age of 60-79, and an additional vaccination for immunocompromised people aged 12 years old and older, Minister Adam Niedzielski announced at a press conference. 

The recommendation to take the third dose has been reduced from 150 days to 90 days - this applies to everyone over the age of 12. According to the minister, about 12 million people have already been vaccinated with the third dose. The fourth dose has been given only to people over 80. 

Niedzielski also noted that the next peak of COVID-19 incidence in Poland is likely to occur in the second half of August with 8-10 thousand new cases per day.
