UW Med: Booster shots with existing vaccines offset some Omicron evasion tactics
Dr. John Lynch, Medical Director, Infectious Diseases, Harborview Medical Center says:
“I am very pro-booster. I think that if you're eligible for boosters in any way, shape, or form – you should definitely get them. For those who are eligible for that second booster, absolutely get it on board.
"I do not think that waiting for an omicron-specific booster or vaccine in the fall is necessary. We really know we're in a surge right now with a highly transmissible variant.”
