What’s a booster shot?
For some viruses, the protection you get from a vaccine starts to wear off over time. An additional dose of the vaccine may be needed to boost your immune response and make sure we’re protected from the virus.
Boosters are common for many vaccines, like Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis).
