Covid Booster Shot: Experts Explain What It Is, Why It Needs Special, Its Benefits and Side Effects
Even now, almost two years after the covid-1 epidemic we still do not know much about this coronavirus. Although more than 6.6 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, the viruses have become dangerous and are growing rapidly in several countries. A landmark event has occurred where fully vaccinated people have tested positive for Covid-1.
Vaccine benefits and side effects
First let?s understand what this booster shot is. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is best defined at first, and initially it is another dose of the vaccine given to a healthy person, which builds up immunity after a full vaccination, but often over time. With it, the immunity can be reduced a lot.
At present, there is a lot of pressure on vaccine manufacturers. So that they can cover the entire population together also countries that have generally announced this booster dose can administer a third dose of the same vaccine as the booster shot. However, with time and more research they can cover new changes as well as change it also Dr. Chatterjee said; The influenza vaccine is changed regularly to give it a new look.
So far, the chances of getting a booster dose are much higher among immunocompromised individuals here. It is more common in people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or in those who have received immunosuppressants, as well as in the elderly.
However, no official recommendation has been received from the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Indian government so far. However, there is now a theoretical possibility that you may need some booster doses and at the same time experts think that the recommendation will come with more experience. However, according to Dr. Chatterjee in India, it is unlikely to get anything in this regard this year. They are now starting to focus on next year?s booster doses.
It is now still almost unclear. Initially, it was suggested that those who had initially recovered from the COVID-19 epidemic may no longer need a second tick dose. However, there are also many cases where a second infection has been reported in recovered patients. Therefore, more research is needed now.
A good advantage of booster shots is that it will give you better immunity against coronavirus. However, after the same time it should be confirmed whether this causes any additional side effects. Usually these booster shots of Corona may have the same side effects as the first two doses, but the benefits of the vaccine sometimes outweigh its side effects. .Therefore, Dr. Animesh Chatterjee, it is much better not to get vaccinated a second time after getting vaccinated once.
