EU: Booster shots may be needed for all adults
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Wednesday that booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines need to be offered to all adults in order to “close the immunity gap.”
In a statement written by ECDC Director Andrea Ammon (pictured), it is said that the agency’s modelling scenarios warned of a potentially “very high burden” of the Delta variant of the virus if more is not done to combat its spread.
“We need to urgently focus on closing this immunity gap, offer booster doses to all adults, and reintroduce non-pharmaceutical measures,” Ammon stressed.
