The booster shot has played a major role in safeguarding the lives of the citizens when the initial two doses of the vaccine were not sufficient enough to provide complete protection.
mRNA Booster Shots To Provide Significant Protection Against Omicron
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been recommending every eligible citizen in the United States to receive the booster shot at the earliest as it offers extra security and allows your immune system
Along with testing the patience of people, the pandemic has also put the efficiency of vaccines to the test. Since the pandemic has emerged, things have been harsh on both the administration and the citizens. Though, gradually vaccines were developed that helped people to fight the infection and stay safe.
In the United States, the Government has authorized 2 initial doses of Pfizer and Moderna and a single dose of Johnson & Johnson.
Right now, the mRNA vaccines have proved out to be effective in providing immunity against viruses. After the complaints of major side effects from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the US CDC has been suggesting the population go for the Pfizer or Moderna Vaccine.
Be it from Moderna, J&J, or Pfizer, the primary dose of vaccines has helped to reduce the number of hospitalizations. These vaccines have provided the best antibody protection till now and the emergence of booster shots has spiked the level of trust among citizens as it is offering a major level of protection against the omicron variant.
As per Dr. Anthony Fauci, to fight against omicron, booster shots are said to increase the immunity levels by manifolds. Those who have received both the doses of primary series along with booster shots have achieved the highest neutralization power against the omicron variant of covid 19 and they can survive the upcoming wave of coronavirus.
As per the data provided by medical researchers, the need for booster shots arises because the initial two doses of vaccine are unable to generate sufficient antibody response to fight omicron variant and the hospitalization will increase. For those, who haven’t received the booster shots, there will be mild symptoms but it does not rule out the possibility of severity and hospitalization.
Also, the studies have found that the mRNA booster shots which mean, jabs from Pfizer or Moderna are very helpful in fighting against the new variant of covid 19.
The citizens are being urged by the state to receive their doses of vaccine and maintain social distancing on their part and follow other restrictions laid by the medical agencies. Wearing masks and sanitizing has become the priority once again to deal with the ongoing situations. However, the researchers have also revealed that with the coming of new strains, the effectiveness of vaccines seems to diminish gradually
This indicates the fact that even if the antibodies produced by the vaccine are unable to generate sufficient response, the chances of severe illness will reduce, and hence it will be easy for the medical authorities to cope up with the hospital admissions which are increasing day by day.
