Reuters reports that Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday, January 18, said that there was currently no evidence that healthy children and adolescents need booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
Speaking at a media briefing, Soumya Swaminathan said that though there seems to be some waning of vaccine immunity against the highly transmissable Omicron variant over time, more research needs to be done to pin down who needs booster doses.
