Bahrain’s National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus has noted that booster shots help individuals maximise immunity against Covid-19, which in return lowers risk of complications from severe illness and death.

Booster shots have been attributed to significantly reduced deaths as zero deaths and hospitalizations were recorded in Bahrain for individuals after two weeks of receiving a booster shot, reported Bahrain News Agency (BNA).

Vaccines protect the community and it is crucial to get vaccinated as scheduled, particularly for individuals at risk of developing complications, it added.
