The new wave of COVID-19 cases caused by the emergence of the Delta strain is exacerbating the global health crisis and raising questions about the potential need and timing of booster doses to already vaccinated populations.
This is stated in the Lancet magazine.
“Any decision about this (about revaccination. – RT ) must be based on evidence and take into account the benefits and risks for people and society,” the article notes.
The authors of the material expressed the opinion that mass vaccination, organized too early, or its frequent use, may cause risks.
“Thus, mass vaccination should only be carried out if there is clear evidence of its feasibility,” the article says.
Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov commented on the Lancet article about revaccination in an interview with Vechernaya Moskva. According to him, the priority task for medical workers in any country is to ensure mass primary vaccination against coronavirus. However, with a sufficient amount of vaccines, citizens should be revaccinated on time.
