THE Ministry of Health defines a fully vaccinated individual as one who has received the required number of doses of a World Health Organization (WHO)-approved Covid -19 vaccine.
It also stated that two weeks should pass since the final recommended vaccine dose has been received.
In a release on Friday, the Ministry of Health said, “At this time, the additional Primary Dose does not affect a person’s vaccination status (eg. for entry into TT Safe Zone areas or for entry into Trinidad and Tobago).
“In T&T, those who previously fit into the category of fully vaccinated before the introduction of the additional Primary Dose will continue to be considered fully vaccinated at this time, whereby the public will be advised if there are any changes to this policy.”
