Why is Booster Dose important?

The booster dose is important as the protection provided by the first two shots will decrease over time. The booster dose will help the immune system to fight the virus for a long time so those who have not taken their booster shot yet should get it asap. It has become the need of the house as not only China, but countries like Spain, Argentina, and many more have been seeing a rapid surge in daily cases and deaths. The possibilities of the next wave hitting India are strong as well.
