Booster shots may be able to cut hospitalization rates in Europe by at least half a million patients, the European Union’s (EU) public health agency said on Thursday.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) announced in a Jan. 27 statement it estimates that “the current uptake of a booster dose achieved by early January may reduce future Omicron hospital admissions by 500,000 [to] 800,000” in the EU/EEA (European Economic Area).
