A third-dose booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccination is a way to keep the most vulnerable safe and 'not a luxury', the World Health Organization said on Monday.

The WHO said earlier this month data did not indicate a need for booster shots, while topping up already fully vaccinated people would further widen a vaccine-availability gap between rich and lower-income countries. "We have to be a little bit careful with the booster shot, because there is not yet enough evidence," he said.
Kluge urged European countries with excess vaccines to share them with other countries, particularly those in Eastern Europe and Africa.
