The World Health Organization (WHO) recently issued an interim statement on booster doses for COVID-19 vaccination. The statement recommends that people who have received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should receive a booster dose of the same vaccine at least six months after the first dose.
The statement was issued in response to recent studies that have shown that the protection provided by the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine may wane over time. The WHO recommends that people who have received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should receive a booster dose of the same vaccine at least six months after the first dose.
Experts have welcomed the WHO’s statement, noting that it is important to ensure that people are protected against the virus for as long as possible. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the statement is “very important” and that it is “absolutely essential” that people receive booster doses of the same vaccine.
Dr. Fauci also noted that the timing of the booster dose is important, as the protection provided by the first dose may wane over time. He said that it is important to ensure that people are protected against the virus for as long as possible, and that booster doses should be given at least six months after the first dose.
