Description

Booster dose is an additional treatment of the vaccine after the previous dose (primer). After the initial vaccination, the booster provides re-exposure to the vaccine antigen. It is intended to increase the susceptibility to that antigen back to protective levels after the memory against that antigen has decreased over time. For example, tetanus boosters are usually recommended every 10 years, when anti-tetanus memory cells lose their function or develop apoptosis.

The need for a booster dose following a basic vaccine is tested in a number of ways. Another way is to measure the level of the immune system a few years after being given the first dose. An anamnestic reaction, the rapid production of antibodies after antigen stimulation, is a common way to measure the booster dose of a vaccine. If the anamnestic response is high after getting the first dose many years ago, there is probably no need for a booster dose. Humans can also measure the activity of B and T cells against that antigen after a period of time when the primary vaccine has been given or determine the spread of the disease in vaccinated individuals.

If a patient receives a booster dose but already has a high antibody level, then a reaction called Arthus reaction may develop, a local type of Type III hypersensitivity caused by high levels of IgG antibodies that cause inflammation. Inflammation usually resolves on its own within a few days but can be completely avoided by increasing the length of time between the main goal and the booster volume.

It is not yet fully clear why some vaccines such as hepatitis A and B are lifelong, while others such as tetanus require boosters. The theory is that if the immune system responds quickly to the main vaccine, the body does not have enough time to develop immunological memory against the disease, and the memory cells will not maintain high levels throughout human life. After a major immune response against vaccination, memory T cells and B cells proceed in the same manner in viral centers, dividing cell division into low and nonexistent cells. Although these cells are long-lived, they rarely cause mitosis, and in the end, the rate of loss of these cells will be greater than the rate of gain. In these cases, a booster dose is required to “boost” B memory and T cell count to reverse.

As of September 2021, protection against serious infections remained high for 6 months after vaccination despite low success in protection against COVID-19 infection. A panel of international scientists affiliated with the FDA, WHO, and several universities and health care institutions, concluded that there was insufficient data to determine the long-term protective benefits of booster volume (only temporary protection effects observed), and recommended. Instead the existing vaccine stock will save many lives if it is available to people who have not yet received the vaccine.

In the United States, the CDC launched a firearms promotion program for the disabled in the summer of 2021 and originally planned to allow adults to receive the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine starting September 2021, with eligible people starting 8 months after receiving the vaccine COVID-19 second dose (for those who have taken both first and second vaccine dose). Following the emergence of additional data on long-term policy implementation and delta diversity, the CDC finally qualified recipients to receive upgrades 6 months after the second shot, in late October. Later, vaccinations in the country increased.

Booster shots can also be used after infection. In this regard, the UK National Health Service recommends that people wait 28 days after being tested for COVID-19 before receiving encouraging shots. Evidence suggests that receiving a vaccine after recovery from COVID-19 infection provides additional protection against the immune system.
