Seniors aged 60 and above are eligible for a second second dose!
The government is enabling seniors aged 60 and up with high-risk comorbidities to receive the second booster dose, which is the fourth dose of the covid vaccination, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Health.
Seniors who are eligible can have the second booster shot in one of four ways: through a MySejahtera appointment, a booster shot at the hospital, a direct door-to-door booster shot, or a booster shot at a senior care centre.
Relevant individuals will obtain appointments for the second booster dosage via MySejahtera, and after receiving the appointment, the public will be able to choose the site and time of vaccination. If the elderly are being treated in a hospital, the second booster dosage can be administered at the same time as the immunisation.
Booster shots can also be obtained directly from specialised hospitals or private clinics. The Ministry of Health will also provide services for the second booster dose at nursing homes for the elderly, and those who are eligible will be able to obtain the booster shots there.
On the guidance of a doctor, seniors aged 60 and over who do not have any diseases can obtain a second booster dose.
People who have received the first booster dosage and have suffered from covid +ve can receive the second dose 3 months after full recovery to make the second dose tougher.

1. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
