Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. The number of people receiving the
third dose or a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine per day has increased by 2-3
times, said Ch. Bolortuya, Spokeswoman of the Prime Minister, today.
As of November 9, the coverage of 1st dose reached 69.4 percent, 2nd dose – 65.8 percent and 3rd dose or a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccines – 14.0 percent of the total population.
Ch. Bolortuya said, “When the country started administering the third dose, around 4,000-5,000 people received the shot per day, but in recent days this number has doubled to 8,000-11,000. Among the provinces, Zavkhan and Selenge aimags have a higher involvement in the 3rd dose, while this number is lower in Dundgobi, Khovd and Bayan-Ulgii aimags. As the vaccination drive intensifies, there has been a positive indication that COVID-19 infections are decreasing."
