What is the science behind a booster shot?
« on: 23/02/2022 10:51:35 »
Rick would like some help locating answers to this question.

"My son doesn't think he needs a booster jab as he's had Covid a couple of months ago. I told him I thought a booster jab would give him increased protection against the new variant but I'm not sure. What does the science say?"

Can you help them? Leave your answers and links to sources that can help in the comments below...

I guess the best thing to do is have him ask his doctor.  They would be the ones most likely to have the right answer.
