Ministry of Health Considers Fourth Vaccine for Covid-19 – While vaccines offer effective protection against fatal illness and disease, the immunity eventually wears off. This is the reason that certain nations, whose populations have already received the vaccine, have provided booster shots.

Due to that condition, the second booster vaccination or the fourth vaccination is being considered because the COVID-19 pandemic is prolonged and the vaccine’s ability to induce antibodies can wane after six months.

Even though it was considered, the vaccination campaign for the general public in Indonesia is still the subject of extensive negotiations between the Health Ministry and the Indonesian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ITAGI).

Mohammad Syahril, the Health Ministry’s spokesperson, said that the government is still prioritizing the delivery of the first dosage, second dose, and booster vaccines at this time. Since many nations have previously adopted this program, a second booster shot or the fourth dosage of Covid-19 vaccination is being considered.

There is speculation or a suggestion from several sources for a second booster vaccination if this pandemic continues. If the second booster vaccination program is put into action by the government, they will prioritize those who are thought to be in danger first, such as those who work in healthcare, have several medical conditions, elderly, or have immune system issues, all have priorities based on things like competence, expense, and so on.

It is anticipated that increasing the absorption of fourth doses among the population groups most at risk at this time will play a small but significant contribution in lowering the chance for individuals to experience severe consequences.

Ministry considers fourth vaccine and expected to lessen the strain on hospitals and the healthcare system in the upcoming months and assist provide further protection against severe disease against the oncoming surge of new Covid-19 subvariant infections.
