No plans to make COVID booster shots mandatory

The Health Ministry has no plans to make the COVID booster shot a precondition for recipients to be considered fully vaccinated.

It says just like the first and second jabs, booster shots are given out to recipients voluntarily.

However, it strongly recommends taking the booster, due to the emergence of Omicron overseas.
