What changes have been made to the COVID-19 vaccination procedure?

Simplification of COVID-19 vaccination schemes

For most Ukrainians, only one vaccination is now required to protect against COVID-19, and for those at risk of severe COVID-19, revaccination is prescribed 6-12 months after the last vaccination.
