An excerpt from the paper reads: > Our findings suggest that the Covishield vaccine was able to neutralize Delta derivatives and prevent serious disease and fatality among breakthrough cases. A booster dose vaccination of Covid-19 naïve vaccinees would achieve a protective immune response to fight against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Speaking on booster doses, India’s Health Minister Mansukh Mandavia said they have two expert groups in the country, who advise them on vaccination. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe has already started administering booster doses for frontline workers and citizens with chronic diseases. A booster shot occurs when a vaccinated individual is further jabbed to increase their immunity. *More: Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
