Third COVID-19 Booster Vaccine may Make Immunity Last Longer by Colleen Fleiss on April 19, 2021 at 11:07 PM
With coronavirus variants on the rise, an annual COVID-19 vaccine or a third booster may be the key in protecting people.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in November 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 may have produced thousands of variants but most disappeared.
Currently, all the vaccines require two-doses to be administered, two, three, or four weeks apart, through the intramuscular route. However, a third booster vaccine or an annual vaccine dose like other flu shots may become the normal and help immunity to last longer.
