How do COVID-19 booster doses work? |
 |
Get the facts about COVID-19 vaccines A booster dose improves protection against severe illness. Protection against COVID-19 – whether from vaccination or prior infection – decreases over time.

It's important to keep your vaccinations up-to-date, which includes getting a COVID-19 booster dose when eligible. |
