The Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti responded positively to a call made by the Health Ministry urging citizens to get a booster shot against COVID-19.

In addition, Kurti has also received the seasonal flu shot as he appealed to citizens to fend off risks from being infected on two fronts.

“The opportunity to get the two shots at the same time gives us a chance to protect ourselves as well as others from two diseases”, Kurti said.

He also urged all persons older than 18 to get the booster dose around six months after receiving the second dose.

As immunity wanes off after a certain period of time, health authorities have recommended the injection of a booster dose somewhere around 6 months after the administration of the second shot.
