Dr Satyam Parmar, head of the pathology department at RAK Hospital, said that the data has shown that viral load in vaccinated people is much lower compared to the un-vaccinated one and a booster dose will further help to lessen the load.
The booster doses are required as the protection attained through vaccination starts to weaken with time and lasts from 7-12 months. (AW)
