Photo / APBy RNZA vaccine expert says Covid-19 "booster" shots are not needed right now, but may well be in the future. A booster shot is being considered in other countries. "So we give booster shots for many diseases to stop losing all of your immunity, and to keep protecting people long-term." There are certain groups where a booster shot may be recommended, immunocompromised groups. But a broader recommendation for a booster shot - there's not evidence there to support the requirement for that at the moment," Ussher said.
