In the northern regions of Ukraine, the number of patients with COVID-19 has increased several times. In particular, this information was provided by doctors in Rivne and Sumy regions. At the same time, on 12 August, a briefing was held on changes to COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, during which Deputy Minister of Health and Chief Medical Officer Igor Kuzin said that representatives of high-risk groups should be revaccinated annually with one dose.

What changes have been made to the COVID-19 vaccination procedure?

Simplification of COVID-19 vaccination schemes

For most Ukrainians, only one vaccination is now required to protect against COVID-19, and for those at risk of severe COVID-19, revaccination is prescribed 6-12 months after the last vaccination.

Earlier, we provided statistics on the incidence of COVID-19 in Ukraine and the world. Find out who is affected by the pandemic here.

Changes in the definitions of COVID-19 vaccination stages

Primary vaccination - 1 vaccination (2 vaccinations for certain categories)

Revaccination - all subsequent vaccinations against COVID-19.

Please note: Both primary vaccination and revaccination against COVID-19 require one dose of the vaccine.
