Bloomberg has quoted the World Health Organization’s chief scientist as saying that calls for Covid-19 booster shots is “premature.”
According to Soumya Swaminathan, the WHO does not have the information that’s necessary to make the recommendation on whether a booster will be needed.
“Nobody is saying you need a booster today,” said Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States.
Bloomberg has quoted the World Health Organization’s chief scientist as saying that calls for Covid-19 booster shots is “premature” (READ HERE).
According to the scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, the WHO does not have the information that’s necessary to make the recommendation on whether a booster will be needed.
The “science is still evolving,” she says.
“Nobody is saying you need a booster today,” said Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States.
“But boosters might very well be in our future at some point, and they might be here sooner if other variants pop up” that aren’t covered as well by existing vaccines.
As a minimum, vaccines will need to protect against hospitalization, ICU admission and death, according to Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“With that bar, we probably would need a vaccine maybe every three to five years,” he said in a STAT biotech podcast on Thursday.
