COVID-19 Booster Dose With the third wave of
Omicron and COVID-19 cases rising again, now is
the time to get boosted if you're eligible. A lot
of people are still wondering whether they and
their families need a COVID booster and, if they
do, how to go about actually getting
one. Everyone above the age of 18 is now eligible
for a COVID-19 booster dose, but not everyone is
eligible immediately. The eligibility criteria
are based on which vaccine you received and when
you took your initial dose or doses. When the
COVID-19 vaccine was developed, people were
skeptical about the first dose itself but now
they have come to understand that the COVID-19
vaccine makes the immunity last longer. Some
people who have compromised immune systems may
not be able to produce as many antibodies to
COVID-19 after typical vaccination. Many people
who, have received an organ transplant, are
undergoing chemotherapy, have advanced HIV/AIDS,
or take immune-suppressing medication wont be
able to create the immunologic response to
vaccines to build adequate protection against
disease. Therefore, a third dose of the vaccine
would benefit them.

What is a COVID-19 vaccine booster? A COVID
booster shot is similar to an additional dose of
a vaccine given after the protection provided by
the original shot(s) has begun to decrease over
time. Normally, you would get a booster after the
immunity from the initial dose(s) naturally
starts to wane. The booster is designed to help
people maintain their level of immunity for
longer. A booster is an additional dose of
vaccine that can help prolong protective immunity
in someone who responded fully at first, but
there's evidence that protection is declining
after some time. The eligibility criteria for a
COVID booster are confusing. But, the simplest
place to start, is to consider Your age Your
initial vaccine When you took your initial dose
or doses.
