While the idea of ​​a new dose of vaccine is spreading, specialists believe that at present, nothing indicates that it would be necessary. However, they invite those who have not done their booster dose to come to the vaccination centers.

In this vaccination center in the Paris region, many people with appointments came to receive their third dose. The idea of ​​a fourth is more or less welcomed. “I think it will have to be done, otherwise it will continue like this”says a person who came to be vaccinated. “I hope it doesn’t come to that”says another.

For specialists, the debate has no place. “Before talking about the fourth dose, we have to go find those who have not taken their third”, explained Professor Gilles Pialoux, head of the infectious diseases department at the Tenon hospital in Paris, on the 8 p.m. set. The Vaccine Strategy Guidance Council considers that “the available data do not call for the implementation of a second booster vaccine, with the exception of severely immunocompromised people”.
