@saranya booster jabs against COVID-19 do provide an extra layer of protection against the illness. But questions still swirl over how much they’ll help and how often they’ll be needed — and the discovery of the Omicron variant has supercharged the debate over their role. Real-world data from Israel and the United Kingdom indicate that a booster dose of one of the widely used mRNA-based vaccines sharply lowers a person’s likelihood of catching SARS-CoV-2 and getting sick. And several months after Israel became the first country in the world to make boosters available to all, its daily case counts remain low. Such data have helped to sway health authorities that were cool to the idea of boosters for all. Now, hoping to stay ahead of the Omicron threat, public-health officials across North America and Europe are urging all adults to get a top-up dose of vaccine. Variant-specific boosters are also in the works, but doctors are urging people not to wait: immunizations with available shots today could help ward off a surge of Omicron infections.
