Popis: As the Omicron variant of concern rapidly spreads across the globe, some countries are scaling up their booster programs to help protect against the impending wave of infections. Omicron has mutations that allow it to evade vaccine immunity at least partially. Here we present available data on effectiveness of boosters, including against Omicron, and how this relates to the Asia-Pacific region.
