Under Health Minister Arunas Dulkys' draft decree, registered on Thursday, all people aged 18 and older will be eligible for a booster dose of BioNTech-Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine at least 180 days after their last shot.

A booster of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen will only be available to people who received the first dose of the single-shot vaccine.

Moderna's Spikevax vaccine has also been used so far as booster shots to certain groups of people. However, the Council of Health Experts, set up by the government, recommended earlier this week to wait for more data on the jab before using it for revaccination.

Moderna has submitted an application to the US regulatory authority for a booster shot at half the dosage used for the first two jabs.

Also, it has been reported that some countries have stopped administering the Spikevax jab to boys and young men.
