Even while the COVID-19 booster doses are essential in the near term to tackle the Omicron variant, Britain’s chief scientific adviser stated on Tuesday that giving them every 3 to 6 months is not sustainable in the long run.
‘It would be unrealistic to expect everyone to need another immunisation every three or six months. That isn’t the long-term picture of where this is going.’ At press briefing, Patrick Vallance suggested that annual booster doses against COVID-19, similar to flu vaccines, may be required.
“We needed to get boosted for this variant at this moment. So I think there’ll be a change over time and this will settle into a much more routine type of vaccine programme.”
