I have already had my two doses of Covid Vaccine but recently read that there is another booster dose. Kindly let me know what this is all about.

The third dose of Covid Vaccine (Booster Dose) are for three categories of people who have had the first two shots. Those that didn’t respond adequately to the first two doses and are suspected to be immunocompromised. The second group are those in whom over time their immunity is noted to be deteriorating or going down over time. The third group are those where the performance of the vaccines is less or inadequate against some of the variants of concern that have emerged. Having said the above, it has been observed that the current vaccines are performing very well and so, very few people will require booster doses.
