“Vaccination should not be promoted outside the age limits” By TPN/Lusa, in News, COVID-19 · 13-05-2021 15:00:00 · 0 Comments The coordinator of the 'task-force' for the vaccination plan against covid-19 has defended that vaccination outside the age limit determined for some vaccines, allowed by rules, should not be promoted by the authorities. Gouveia e Melo, who was speaking at the Parliamentary Health Commission, answered a question about the standards issued by the General Directorate of Health (DGS), which allow people outside the age limit for the Janssen vaccine (administered from the age of 50 years) and Astrazeneca (from 60 years old) can choose to receive these vaccines. “There is that possibility and it is being studied. The only concern that must be taken into account is the fact that we should not be promoting this”, he said.
