ARCHIVED - People over 54 years old can now book a booster shot in Andalusia
There are three main ways to book a Covid booster jab in Andalucía
As of today, Wednesday January 5, the Andalusian Health Service has extended the availability of booking an appointment for a Covid-19 booster jab to people born in 1967 and 1968 (55 and 54 years of age).
Anyone over 54 years of age can now make an appointment to receive their third dose in Andalucía as long as at least six months have passed since they received their second dose of messenger Pfizer or Moderna, three months since the second dose of AstraZeneca or three months since their first and only dose of Janssen.
It is only Pfizer and Moderna that are being used for booster shots, regardless of which vaccine was originally used.
For the time being, people who received a first dose of AstraZeneca and then a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna (or vice versa) are not eligible for this booster shot as it has been observed that the level of immunity and efficacy is more potent and prolonged in these cases.
