We need to step up booster shots to achieve to around 360,000 doses per day to achieve a higher population level immunity by the end of February. – ART CHEN/ The Star
To achieve this, around 360,000 doses per day should be given, compared to the current rate of about 250,000 jabs a day, the public health expert says. He adds, “If booster doses are administered quickly enough, Omicron may lead to a short, sharp surge of infections due to waning antibody levels, followed by a rapid fall in new Covid-19 cases as booster doses re-establish immunity.”“This means there are 17 million more booster shots to go,” points out Dr Awang Bulgiba, who is also the head of the Independent Covid-19 Vaccination Advisory Committee.
He notes that while some experts say that Omicron signals the end of the pandemic, others believe that the variant’s evolutionary path is actually an error, and we are likely to see more harmful variants emerging.
