Why do we need a booster dose for COVID?

Hello, I heard about the booster dose for Covid-19. Can anyone tell me why do we need a booster dose for COVID? Aren’t two shots of vaccines enough? I am 40 years old male. I am fully vaccinated. Can anyone tell me why do we need a booster dose for COVID?

@rafael Hello, A COVID booster shot is an additional dose of a vaccine given after the protection provided by the original shot(s) has begun to decrease over time. Typically, you would get a booster after the immunity from the initial dose(s) naturally starts to wane. The booster is designed to help people maintain their level of immunity for longer. A COVID-19 booster is given when a person has completed their vaccine series, and protection against the virus has decreased over time. Depending on the original series you had, some details will vary. Thank You.
