Third Covid dose may prevent hospitalisation in elderly: Study

Three doses of the Covid vaccine can give high levels of protection against hospitalisation with the Omicron variant, according to a new study. Early evidence has shown that two-doses of Covid vaccines are less effective against the Omicron variant than against previous variants like Delta.

As a result, many countries have rolled out the booster doses. India will also begin the rollout of a third dose for health workers and the elderly from January 10.
