Covid booster jabs ‘not a luxury’ and protect the vulnerable, says WHO | World Health Organization | The Guardian

A booster jab of Covid-19 vaccine for vulnerable people is not a luxury but a good way to protect them, the World Health Organization has said, as surging infection rates and a pan-European vaccination slowdown produced a “deeply worrying” situation.

“A third dose of vaccine is not a luxury booster taken away from someone who is still waiting for a first jab,” Dr Hans Kluge, the WHO’s regional director for Europe, said on Monday. “It’s basically a way to keep the most vulnerable safe.”

Covid-19 variants that evade protection could emerge in the US if more people don't get vaccinated, Fauci says

Mon, 2021-08-09 09:42 — Naomisfreeman
