How long the booster dose of the second dose might take, said the head of government who could not yet say. However, according to her, in other countries, the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is planned to be administered after 8 weeks.
“It just came to our notice then. To my knowledge, other countries are considering revaccination after eight weeks,” said I. Šimonytė.

“No matter how many vaccines there are, there are still not enough, as more and more are needed for rapid booster vaccination, so we want to provide as much protection as possible to as wide a variety of people as possible, but the elderly and chronically ill are number one, ”said Prime Minister I. Šimonytė.
