The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the risk of the new SARS-CoV2 variant Omicron as 'very serious'. He says that it can spread very fast internationally and can bring destruction in some area. In the midst of such an atmosphere of panic, the Government of India may soon decide to give a booster i.e. third dose of the corona vaccine as a committee of experts is about to make this recommendation to the government.

Professor Salim Abdul Karim, an infectious disease specialist in Africa, also says that the vaccines currently being administered have the potential to give patients infected with the Omicron variant the ability to prevent severe symptoms and send them to the hospital. Didn't have to enroll.

However, if official sources are to be believed, the committee is going to tell the government that people who have weak immunity or who are elderly and who are at high risk of getting infected or dying from infection, should be given an additional dose of corona vaccine. It would be right to get the dose done. Naturally, the recommendation of the committee will be first considered by the Advisory Group on Technical Aspects of Kovid Immunization (NTAGI), which may meet next week.

If NTAGI gives its assent to the committee's recommendation, then the health ministry will have to take a final call. In view of all these processes, it will be difficult to say when the booster dose will be started. A senior official told our affiliate newspaper The Times of India (ToI), "We will take this decision after the NTAGI meeting next week."
