‘In India, third dose can create a shortfall for those who are not vaccinated’
The proposed third jab or the booster dose is as of now not needed, unless and until the entire population is fully vaccinated, which means each eligible person having taken both the doses. This was the opinion of the experts at the 88th webinar on COVID-19, organised by the Andhra Medical College.
Addressing the participants, Paul Kelly, Director of Centre for Travel Medicine from the division of infectious diseases, Bronxcare Hospital, the USA, said that the plan for third dose, if required, could go on air, only if the entire eligible population is fully vaccinated.
