As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the Croatian Institute of Public Health is now making some new recommendations, according to which booster vaccination will be recommended in Croatia after three months following the end of primary vaccination. The above was explained by Minister of Health Vili Beros.

So far, the Croatian Institute of Public Health’s recommendations have been to wait six months following the end of primary vaccination, as stated above, but as Health Minister Vili Beros confirmed to Index recently, a set of new recommendations are now underway, which will advise everyone to come for a booster dose after three months following the end of their primary vaccination.

“The EMA (European Medicines Agency) recommended a booster dose three months after vaccination and the Public Health Institute is now making new recommendations based on that, according to which a Croatian covid booster vaccine will be recommended after three months,” said Minister Beros.

Earlier on, at the Government session, Prime Minister Plenkovic said: “On behalf of the Croatian Government, I’d like to call on all those who have been vaccinated to be vaccinated with their third dose before six months of receiving the second dose passes, especially in these circumstances around Christmas.”
