Dr. Mario Jiz of the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine said studies indicated the persistence of antibodies is longer after booster shots compared to those with second doses only. And unless there will be more mutations of the virus in the future, additional boosters won’t be necessary, except for the immune compromised and the elderly.
FDA acting director general Oscar Gutierrez said Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin is applying for an amendment to its emergency use authorization for the use of its jabs on those aged two to 18.
