The Ministry of Health (MOH) launched today «Maintain Your Level with Booster Shot» Campaign to urge taking the booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to reach community immunity.
On its Twitter account and “Live Well” platform, MOH posted a set of introductory infographics stressing the importance of the booster dose to enhance the level of immunity as one dose is not enough, especially with the presence of variants. With the second dose, the level of immunity increases sufficiently to resist the virus and its variants and reduces the associated complications and severity of the disease to a greater extent. For the time being, the booster dose is important for protection against complications and variants.
This step comes in continuation of the COVID-19 awareness campaign launched by MOH in conjunction with the outbreak of the virus, under the theme “Prevent Coronavirus”. It aims to educate all members of society about the new Coronavirus. It also guides them towards correct behaviors that contribute to preventing the disease and limiting its spread, in order to maintain the health and safety of all community members.
