What’s the evidence for COVID-19 booster shots?

WHO appeals for countries to postpone COVID-19 vaccine boosters until 2022 to prioritize vaccinating the most at-risk people around the world who are yet to receive their first dose.

But any decision to give a third, booster jab “to large swathes of the population”, to extend their protection from the first two, must be based on clinical data”.
