Hello, I am 23 years old. I have been double vaccinated and completed my doses in a timely manner. I would like to know will vaccines work against Omicron? Do I need to take another vaccine? Please help me with your suggestions.

@shiladitya Current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant. However, breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated are likely to occur. With other variants, like Delta, vaccines have remained effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. The recent emergence of Omicron further emphasizes the importance of vaccination and boosters.
