Over the last few months, millions of Americans have waited in line and rolled up their sleeves for the COVID-19 vaccine. Some medical experts in the Tampa Bay area say itâs possible weâll need a booster shot down the road to stay protected.
The latest CDC data on COVID-19 vaccinations in the US shows almost 50 percent of the total population has had at least one dose of the vaccine. Dr. Jill Roberts, an associate professor with USF Health, says she thinks itâs likely we will need a booster of the vaccine at some point.
