Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) at Germany's Robert Koch Institute recommended on Tuesday that booster coronavirus vaccine doses should be administered at least three months after the initial vaccination regime or an infection.
The vaccine panel explained that the purpose of the move is to intensify the booster vaccination campaign to prevent severe cases of COVID-19 and "to reduce the transmission of the spreading Omicron variant."
STIKO, therefore, cut the recommended timespan between the original inoculation and the booster shot by three months.
