when should you do your second vaccine booster?

According to some epidemiologists, Covid-19 is becoming a seasonal virus. For the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, we must anticipate the epidemic recovery, expected in the fall. “It is even very important to do so. That means, being up to date with your reminders. However, today less than a third of those over 60s-who are nevertheless the most at risk of a serious form of Covid, have made their second reminder“, he said. “Boosters are effective against severe forms”, further insists Damien Mascret.

As for reminders, when is the best time to do them? Scientists debate it. “Some experts believe that it is better to wait until the start of the school year, to be full of antibodies during the wave expected in autumn and winter“, when others estimate “that it is more prudent to make a recall now, to better protect against the current BA.4 and BA.5 wave”, reports the doctor. And this, in particular if you are a vulnerable person, or close to a vulnerable person.
