Winter vacations are just around the corner. This is the season of vacations and holidays. On top of that, people are getting to enjoy their vacations for the first time in 2 years. However, according to experts, if you have a weak immune system, then you must get a COVID booster dose before going on vacation. It has become yet more important due to the newly-mutated Omicron variant.

As per the US Centres For Disease Control & Prevention, nearly 3% (7 million) of the adult population of the US has compromised immune systems. Experts say that people with weak immunity are more likely to face severe complications from contracting COVID than their more immune counterparts. This is because their immunity hasn’t been developed to combat COVID-19 after 2 vaccine doses. As a result, they must take a booster dose to fully develop their immunities against the Corona Virus.
Some studies have also shown that patients exhibited a 60% response to the additional dose of the vaccine. As per the CDC, patients with a weak immune response against the disease should take a booster dose of Pfizer or Moderna at least a month after their second dose. There are many reasons the immune response might be weak. Some of the factors contributing to this are related to the diseases like cancer, or bone marrow transplants. However, other factors include taking immune-suppressing medications for different reasons. In either case, you must get a booster dose before going out with your family to have a good time. This is because during this time you will be more vulnerable to COVID-19.
