Dubrovnik
All interested Croatian citizens are vaccinated on Wednesdays from 8:30 to 10:30. Please note that along with the first, second and booster doses, the second vaccination (4th dose) also began.
Along with the first, second and first and second booster doses, vaccination with the new adapted/variant vaccine begins, which covers the first Omicron variant of the virus (BA.1) in addition to the original Wuhan virus.
The first vaccination with an adapted/variant vaccine is recommended for all persons aged 18 years and older who have completed the primary vaccination, i.e. received two doses of the Comirnaty (Pfizer), Spikevax (Moderna) or Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) vaccine, or one dose of the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine . Children aged 12 and over who have an increased risk of developing severe forms of the disease of COVID-19 can also be vaccinated.
The adapted/variant vaccine will also be given as a second vaccination, which is recommended for people aged 60 and over and adults under 60 with an increased risk of developing severe forms of COVID-19. The second vaccination is carried out in persons who were primarily vaccinated and then vaccinated with one dose. People who have recovered and who have completed the primary vaccination or received the first booster dose, can receive a booster dose at least 3 months after the last dose or recovery (depending on which occurred last).
Other people can also be vaccinated a second time (not prohibited), especially if they have chronic diseases that increase the risk of developing severe forms of the disease of COVID-19 or if it is necessary for administrative reasons.
On Wednesday, the vaccines Comirnaty (Pfizer), Janssen (Johnson&Johnson) and Spikevax (Moderna Biotech) will be available.
Other notes are that the booster dose can be received by all persons who have passed 3 months since receiving the second dose of the Comirnaty (Pfizer), Spikevax (Moderna Biotech) and Vaxzevria (AstaZeneca) vaccines, or 2 months since receiving one dose of Janssen (Johnson&Johnson).

Primary, Third & Booster Vaccination
Primary Dose
Primary vaccination consists of:
- two doses of Comirnaty (Pfizer) vaccine three weeks apart
- two doses of Spikevax (Moderna) four weeks apart
- two doses of Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) vaccine 4-12 weeks apart
- one dose of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine
Comirnaty (Pfizer) is approved for use in children 5 to 11 years of age.
Comirnaty (Pfizer) and Spikevax (Moderna) are approved for children 12 years of age and older and adults.
Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) are approved for people 18 years of age and older.
Third Dose
In immunocompromised individuals, the primary vaccination consists of three doses while two doses are recommended for healthy individuals. This means that an immunocompromised person should, after the second dose of Comirnaty (Pfizer) or Spikevax (Moderna), receive a third dose of the same vaccine.
An immunocompromised person who has received two doses of Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) should receive a third dose of an mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty/Pfizer or Spikevax/Moderna). No additional doses are recommended at this time.
For immunocompromised persons who have received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine, revaccination is mandatory.
The recommended interval between the second and third dose of primary vaccination in immunocompromised individuals is eight weeks, but can be a minimum of four weeks.
Booster Dose
There is growing evidence of weakening protection against infection after receiving the primary vaccinations, regardless of the type of vaccine used. Furthermore, the weakening of protection from infections has been observed in all age groups. In addition, there is growing evidence that an additional dose improves the level of protection. Therefore, revaccination (or booster) against COVID-19 is recommended.
For all those who have received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine as a primary vaccination, revaccination/booster is recommended at least two months after the single dose. For this purpose it may be Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) or an mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty/Pfizer or Spikevax/Moderna).
It is recommended that people over 18 years of age, who have completed their primary vaccination with Spikevax/Moderna,
Comirnaty/Pfizer or Vaxzevria/AstraZeneca, be revaccinated/get a booster with a single dose after six months from the primary vaccination.
However, it is not incorrect to get vaccinated before six months has passed. A third dose which is administered at least three months after the second dose is recognized as a booster dose.
People who have been primarily vaccinated with Comirnaty/Pfizer or Spikevax/Moderna should be vaccinated with the same vaccine. A person who has been primarily vaccinated with Vaxzevria/AstraZeneca should be vaccinated with one of the approved mRNA vaccines (Comirnaty/Pfizer or Spikevax/Moderna).
IMPORTANT NOTE: For revaccination Spikevax/Moderna uses half the dose used for primary vaccination (0.25 ml).
Booster doses are especially recommended for:
– residents of homes for the elderly and infirm and for adults with disabilities.
– workers employed by accommodation service providers for the elderly and infirm, adults with disabilities and by other accommodation service providers.
– healthcare professionals who directly care for patients.
– people aged 50 and over, regardless of comorbidities.
– people aged 18 and over who share a household with immunocompromised and highly vulnerable people.
– everyone aged 18 and over suffering from chronic diseases which increase the risk of more severe forms of COVID-19.
Second Booster (4th Dose)
A second booster dose (4th dose) is recommended for people over 60 years of age and especially sensitive adults, at least four months after receiving the first booster dose. For this purpose, an mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty or Spikevax) is used.
Also, a second vaccination is recommended for people who have an increased risk of developing severe forms of the disease of COVID-19, who were primarily vaccinated with the Janssen vaccine and were vaccinated with the Janssen vaccine. For the purpose of the second vaccination, it is recommended to use the mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty or Spikevax).
Other people can also be vaccinated a second time (not prohibited), especially if they have chronic diseases that increase the risk of developing severe forms of the COVID-19 disease or if it is necessary for administrative reasons.
Vaccination for People Who Have Recovered from COVID-19
It is strongly recommend that you receive at least one dose of the vaccine least six months after recovery, and it is acceptable to get the entire primary vaccination, in accordance with the recommendations under point 1 (primary dose), with possible larger intervals between doses.
It is not incorrect to receive the vaccine even with an interval of less than six months. Unfortunately, the rules for issuing digital COVID certificates are not in line with expert recommendations. Therefore, if a person wants to get a digital COVID certificate based on a single dose after recovery, this single dose should be received within 180 days of a positive PCR test.
People aged 65 and older and people with moderate and severe immunosuppression who had COVID-19 should receive the vaccine at least three months after recovery in accordance with the recommendations under point 1 (primary dose).
Revaccination is not recommended for people who have been fully vaccinated (received the primary doses of the vaccine) after recovery. A second dose of vaccine is recommended for people who recovered from COVID -19, and received one dose of vaccine after recovery, provided that six months have passed since receiving the vaccine.
Note: Recommendations are subject to revision. Original links here and here.
