Johnson County Public Health explains updated COVID-19 Booster Recommendations
The recent emergence of the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) further emphasizes the importance of vaccination, boosters, and prevention efforts needed to protect against COVID-19. Studies show after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, protection against the virus and the ability to prevent infection with variants may decrease over time. A booster shot increases the immune response which means people should have improved protection against COVID-19 infection.
