The fifth dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 is already available in some municipalities for people over 40 years of age and immunosuppressed people over 18 years of age. Thus, people who have a compromised immune system can check whether their city has already started the vaccination campaign.
People considered immunosuppressed are the following:
However, in addition to being immunosuppressed or over 40 years old, the last booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine must have been applied at least 4 months ago. The fifth dose was released by the latest edition of the National Plan for the Operationalization of Vaccination against COVID-19 (PNO), by the Ministry of Health.
Despite the rules established by the folder in the Vaccination Plan, it is worth mentioning that each municipality has autonomy in the Unified Health System (SUS). Therefore, it is possible that your city is already vaccinating other audiences, so the ideal is to check the guidelines in your region.
Anyway, it is not yet known whether the fifth dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 will be made available to the general population and when this will happen. After all, for the time being there is no guidance from the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) or the Ministry of Health regarding this issue.
But it is worth mentioning that, soon, new instructions will probably be provided regarding the fifth dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 for the general public.
