As Delta and other variants take hold in the U.S. and even the fully vaccinated don’t seem to be totally safe, some of us are starting to wonder about those boosters. Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that some individuals — mostly those who are immunocompromised — may need COVID-19 booster vaccines sooner rather than later. And unlike so many other instances during the pandemic, it seems like the U.S. may be relatively prepared.
Talk of boosters isn’t exactly surprising, even if it’s coming a little sooner than we may have initially expected. Most experts have been telling us for a while that we would all probably need to top up our vaccine juice to keep our immunity to COVID-19 strong. So, it’s not exactly shocking that those with weakener immune systems would be the first to need a third jab.
