Several virologists world over have reiterated that booster shots of the Covid-19 vaccine is the only way to stem the tide of Omicron cases. The government, however, is yet to take a decision on booster shots even though there is adequate stock of Covid vaccines.
As of today, India reported 213 Omicron cases, of which 90 cases have recovered.
More than 17.73 crore unutilized Covid vaccine doses are still available with the States, UTs and private hospitals, according to GoI figures.
Amid the emergence of the Omicron variant of coronavirus, a Delhi-based doctor said that a booster dose of COVID vaccine is a must as the protection cover of two doses declines over three to six months.
