Tonight, there is a new SI, but before you start worrying about confusing curfew hours, this SI only has minor changes. SI 147 repeals regulation 27 from SI 119 - to put it simply, regulation 27 had banned the sale of alcohol by stores after 6pm. There's a chance you may not even have known that was still in effect, but now, that ban has been lifted.
The SI also adds the use of the Taiwanese COVID 19 vaccine, Medigen, to our existing list of vaccines available for the public. Medigen, like most of the others, is a two dose vaccine.
And today Cabinet approved new waiting times for booster shots. For AstraZeneca and Pfizer, the wait time is three months after the second dose. Janssen, which is a one shot vaccine, allows for a second shot 2 months after being vaccinated. And for those who had caught the virus, they can be vaccinated one month after the laboratory diagnosis.
