From today (December 24), the National Vaccination Programme will provide J&J booster vaccinations to anyone who received their last dose at least two months prior (October 24) or before, and from then on at at least two-months intervals.

The recommended interval is after two months but preferably before 6 months from the primary dose.

Pfizer vaccine

From December 28, the National Vaccination Programme will provide Pfizer booster vaccinations to anyone who received their last dose at least six months since the second primary dose.
