A group of international scientists has said in a new report in a medical journal that additional COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are not needed for the general population.The report concluded that even with the threat of the more contagious Delta variant booster doses for the general population are not appropriate at this stage in the pandemic.”The scientists wrote that any decisions about the need for boosting or timing of boosting should be based on careful analyses of adequately controlled clinical or epidemiological data.The scientists say more evidence was needed to justify boosters, and that vaccines remain highly effective against severe symptoms of COVID-19, across all the main virus variants including Delta.
