Top Indian genome scientists have recommended booster doses of corona vaccine vaccines for people aged 40 years and above. He has recommended a booster dose with priority to the high-risk population above 40 years of age.

 

This has been said in the weekly bulletin of the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Sequencing Consortium (INSACOG). Let us inform you that INSACOG is a network of national testing laboratories set up by the government to monitor the genomic changes of the corona. "Vaccination of all remaining non-at-risk individuals and a booster dose for those 40 years of age and older may be considered," the Inscago bulletin said.

 

The government's concerns have increased due to the introduction of a new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, in the country. Insacog said targeting those most at high risk first may be considered because even though current vaccines are unlikely to be sufficient to neutralize Omicron, it is likely to reduce the risk of serious disease.
