IS IT POSSIBLE TO CATCH COVID-19 AFTER RECEIVING A BOOSTER SHOT?



COVID-19 vaccinations can help prevent severe disease, hospitalisation, and death by reducing the risk of infection. Additionally, the COVID-19 immunizations aid in infection prevention. CoViD-19 can still infect those who have received their vaccines. Immunised individuals are less likely to develop severe symptoms when contracting COVID-19 than unvaccinated individuals.

Regarding the more contagious Omicron version of COVID-19, statistics reveal that a second dose of the vaccine is more effective than a single dose.

According to medical experts, the best defence against the novel Omicron variation and against all viral variants that cause COVID-19 is one complete vaccination dose followed by a booster shot several months later.

The first COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was approved on December 11, 2020. Since then, studies have revealed that unvaccinated people have a five-fold increased chance of infection and a ten-fold increased risk of hospitalisation or death due to COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immunity against the virus fades within six to eight months, according to research from Israel and the United States. Especially concerning is the fact that the highly contagious Omicron strain was discovered in South Africa in November.
