Turkey Offers Covid-19 Booster Shot After Early Use of Chinese Vaccine

[andhra_jp]

Turkey’s health minister, Fahrettin Koca, said it would offer a third vaccine dose to healthcare workers and people over the age of 50. 

That third dose isn’t dependent on which vaccine was used for the previous two. 

Turkey is currently using both the vaccine made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE and another made by the Chinese company Sinovac Biotech Ltd.

Turkey isn’t the first country to offer booster shots to people who have received a Chinese-made vaccine. 

Bahrain has been giving Pfizer-BioNTech shots to people who received two doses of a vaccine made by Chinese drugmaker Sinopharm. 

The United Arab Emirates is giving third doses of the Sinopharm vaccine as doctors say the Chinese-made shots in some cases haven’t generated enough protective antibodies.
