💉About the COVID-19 Booster (Precautionary Dose) Vaccine
COVID-19 immunity wanes over time, particularly against infection (though protection against severe disease is better maintained). Booster doses restore waned immunity and provide improved protection against newer variants. India launched its precautionary booster dose (3rd dose) programme in January 2022 starting with frontline workers and elderly.
