MANILA, Philippines — Young people aged 12 to 17 with impaired immune systems may now receive booster shots to increase their protection against COVID-19, the Department of Health said Wednesday.  

 

Around 238,000 immunocompromised adolescents who have completed their primary doses are eligible for boosters, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a briefing.

 

They can receive booster shots at least 28 days after completing their primary series. To date, only Pfizer vaccines can be given to them.
