The Health Organization updates its recommendations regarding Corona vaccines

 The World Health Organization has announced its recommendations regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for all age groups. The health organization indicated that healthy children and adolescents may not necessarily need a vaccination dose, but older and high-risk groups should receive a booster vaccination dose between six months to 12 months after the last dose.

The UN agency said the aim is to focus efforts on vaccinating those who face a higher risk of serious illness and death from COVID-19, taking into account the high level of population immunity around the world due to widespread infection and vaccination.

The organization identified high-risk populations as:

• Older adults as well as young adults with other significant risk factors.
• For this group, WHO recommends an additional dose of the vaccine either six months or 12 months after the last dose, based on factors such as age and immune-related conditions.
• Healthy children and adolescents are not a priority for the COVID-19 vaccination.
• The WHO urged countries to consider factors such as disease burden before recommending vaccination for this group.
• According to the organization, vaccines against Covid-19 and booster doses are safe for all ages, but the recommendations took into account other factors such as cost-effectiveness.
• At a briefing on Tuesday, the WHO said its latest advice reflects the current disease picture and global immunity levels, but should not be seen as long-term guidance on whether annual booster shots are needed.
