The Saudi Health Ministry said that there are no recommendations for conducting a laboratory examination before receiving the new Corona vaccine, stressing the importance of continuing to apply general precautionary measures.
The Saudi Ministry of Health added that people recovering from the infection may delay vaccination with the vaccine for 6 months after infection, and receive only one dose.
That is, as the National Committee for Infectious Diseases decided that one dose of the Coronavirus vaccine would be sufficient for those who had previously been infected with the virus, and it would take place after 6 months of recovery.
Data from clinical trials indicate that the two vaccines are safe and effective in people who have had a previous infection with the “Covid-19” virus, and that re-infection within 90 days after the initial infection is very rare.
