Should I get a booster shot?
The short answer is yes.
Doctors and scientists have been closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19, new variants like Delta and Omicron, and the effectiveness of the vaccines over time. While the vaccines are highly effective, especially against severe illness and outcomes, a booster shot helps to maintain that effectiveness and protection over time. This addresses concerns about “waning immunity” that has been observed.
Generally, booster shots are recommended for adults six months after their second dose.
