Nurmat Otabekov: Who should be vaccinated with a booster dose of the vaccine?

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A booster dose of the vaccine is given to people who have completed a full course (two or three doses) of vaccination against coronavirus more than 6 months after receiving the last dose, Nurmat Atabekov, Deputy Head of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health Service said.
As a "booster" you can get any vaccine that is available at the time of vaccination in the republic, regardless of which vaccine you were vaccinated in the first course.
According to international experts, over time, the amount of antibodies formed after vaccination begins to decline. Vaccination with a booster dose increases the level of immunity formed after primary vaccination in a short time (due to the presence of humoral memory of the previous vaccination at the cellular level).
How many times do you need to be vaccinated with a "booster"?
Experts are currently offering a single booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. If the pandemic continues for a long time, the booster dose may also be applied more than once.
It should be recalled that in medicine there has long been a practice of using revaccination. It is used in the process of vaccination of a number of infectious diseases in the country, such as tetanus, measles, rubella, whooping cough.
According to experts, a booster dose of the vaccine can protect not only against the alpha and delta strains, but also against COVID-19 caused by the omicron strain. Even if the disease progresses, it will pass easily, without serious complications.
