Watch the #ECDC Director Andrea Ammon message about the 4th dose of the #COVID19vaccine:
"We urge everyone to complete their vaccination schedules following the national recommendations" - says #ECDC Director Andrea Ammon in the statement.
It is too early to consider using a 4th dose in the general population, however it can be given to adults ≥ 80 after reviewing data on the higher risk of severe disease in this age group and the protection provided by a 4th dose
