Vatican City is providing a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, with priority given to the vulnerable and those over 60 years of age, a press release said Wednesday.
The city state’s health and hygiene office started administering the third dose in the second half of October, according to a Vatican statement.
The Vatican has provided the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine to its residents and employees since January, beginning with the elderly, health and safety personnel, and those in frequent contact with the public.
Pope Francis and Benedict XVI received two doses of the vaccine in early 2021. The second dose was administered in February.
