The spike in Covid-19 cases in a number of countries has led to the possibility that a booster vaccine or injection of the third dose of the vaccine may be needed. The UK and Russia are currently planning a vaccine booster campaign as part of their efforts to coexist with Covid-19.

This is similar to when a tetanus booster is recommended every 10 years or a flu vaccine is recommended every year. Although there are still pros and cons, vaccine boosters are claimed to be strong against Covid-19.
