WHO backs Covid-19 booster jab for people with weak immune systems

The World Health Organisation has recommended booster shots for people with weak immune systems as they are less likely to respond adequately to the standard course of vaccinations.

On Monday, the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) vaccine advisory group said that people with compromised immune systems should be given a Covid-19 booster shot.

“Moderately and severely immunocompromised persons should be offered an additional dose,” the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation said. “These individuals are less likely to respond adequately to vaccination following a standard primary vaccine series and are at high risk of severe Covid-19,” they added.
