Lead Co-Chair of Global Health Security and COVID-19 Task Force T20 Indonesia Prof Hasbullah Thabrany reiterated that the third dose of COVID-19 vaccination (booster) is very important for people at risk, including children, during the pandemic.
He said that flu vaccines such as COVID-19 usually don’t last a lifetime, as in the case of polio. Therefore, it is necessary to inject a booster vaccine at periods when the antibodies produced from the vaccine in the body are reduced. (ojn/bbs)
