More than 7 crores got a booster dose
A total of 7.37 crore people in the country have been given booster doses. On July 13, the government announced the installation of boosters for 18+ people free of cost. After this, in just 13 days (between July 13 and 25), 2 crore people have got precaution doses. Between July 1 and 12, only 53 lakh people had got a booster dose, that is, the speed has increased up to 4 times.

Only 2 doses were ineffective in 6 months, with 52% protection from booster

Research conducted in collaboration with Qatar's Ministry of Health says that the third dose, ie booster, reduces the risk of infection by 52%.
Dr. Ram S. of Harvard Medical School. Upadhyay told in a conversation with Bhaskar that the booster dose increases immunity manifold and the risk of re-infection decreases. The immunity from chronic infection is preserved for 14 months.
