As we move to spring, the protection from the initial Covid-19 vaccination that you might have may have begun to die.
Covid-19 is still very dangerous and can still threaten life for those with weakened immune systems.
Thankfully, those who are likely to be seriously ill in Covid-19 have provided free vaccines in spring to protect them. This is previously known as Spring Booster.
The vaccine saved numerous lives, prevented thousands of people from going to the hospital and helped me to live with viruses without fear or restrictions.
Ukhsa monitoring data Those who have received vaccines on the program last spring are reducing the possibility of being admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 from two weeks after vaccination.

Qualifications for residents and employees in nursing homes
People who live in nursing homes for the elderly are qualified. The caregiver and the staff of the caregiver are not qualified. This is because this spring aims to protect the most vulnerable people this spring.
People with weakened immune systems
We understand that weakened immune system (immunosuppression) is much simpler than other standards. People can be seen as immunosuppressive, but it may not fit the immunosuppressive criteria for vaccination, so online can be more confusing.
