The efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic have been tremendous and still ongoing. Governments, in cooperation with experts, are now recommending a COVID-19 booster shot.
As a Health Care provider, we have researched the reasons why we should get a COVID-19 booster shot:
- Emerging variants
According to Dr. Albert Shaw, a Yale Medicine infectious diseases expert, the current vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines, can be tailored to target particular variants of the COVID-19 virus.
- Waning immunity
Studies reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveal that there has been an observed waning immunity in people who got vaccinated. Waning immunity is the decline of antibodies after the initial immune response to vaccination.
CDC now encourages vaccinated individuals ages 18 and older to get a booster shot. As an independent pharmacy, Apex Care Pharmacy 2 administers COVID-19 vaccines based on government guidelines. Appointments are also available through online scheduling.
