Rwanda’s health ministry has announced that it will start giving third doses to the elderly and those who have underlying conditions starting on Tuesday.
The ministry says the implementation will be done in phases and will begin in the capital, Kigali.
Rwanda’s minister of state in charge of primary healthcare says third doses will be given to those who are over the age of 50.
The World Health Organization says this group should get an additional jab, as they are at higher risk of infections after their first vaccines.
