Booster Can Wait, Focus Should Be On Vaccinating all: AIIMS Chief Guleria

India should now focus on inoculating as many people as possible to curb the spread of Covid and the idea of booster doses can wait. As countries start to vaccinate people with third vaccine shots of booster doses, AIIMS Chief Randeep Guleria has said that India’s main focus is to be on vaccinating as many people as possible to curb the spread of Covid and that the idea of booster doses can wait. Guleria also added that there’s not enough data to show the requirement of a booster dose now.

Addressing a virtual program organised by Integrated Health and Wellbeing Council, Guleria said, “I think we should focus on vaccinating those who have not been vaccinated till now, especially the high-risk group. Still many healthcare workers, many elderly and those with comorbidities have not been vaccinated, and they are the ones who have a chance of having more severe disease and dying because of Covid-19." He said, “I think the issue should be to vaccinate as many individuals as possible, rather than going in for three shots, four shots and trying different things, I think, let's stick to what we know right now, and focus on vaccinating as many people as we can."
