Facing threat of third COVID wave, India is still planning a booster shot!

Apart from Israel, Germany, France and UK have stated that they might soon begin supplying booster shots to the public.

New Delhi: With many countries completing the vaccination of the majority of their population, the development and supply of booster COVID-19 doses has begun as more dangerous variants of the virus threaten to prolong the global pandemic. Apart from Israel, where booster shots have already become available to those fully vaccinated, Germany, France and UK have stated that they might begin supplying booster shots to the public. India has a long way to go as less than 8 per cent of the population has received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to data provided by the Union Health Ministry.
