The World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday that it “strongly supports” the administration of COVID-19 booster doses, reversing its previous stance that boosters were not necessary for healthy people who are fully vaccinated.

WHO said in its updated vaccine advisory that “current COVID-19 vaccines for primary series and booster doses” provide high levels of protection against severe disease and death, even in the context of the spread of Omicron.
