Bahrain bats for booster shots to battle Covid-19

    • Bahrain has so far seen more than 269,000 cases of Covid-19 infection, 1,383 of which have resulted in deaths

    • However, the country is almost 70% vaccinated now, with WHO chief Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus even praising Bahrain’s response to the pandemic

    Bahrain is now advocating for its citizens to get their booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, said local reports on Wednesday, July 28.

    The reports quoted Bahrain’s National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus as saying that booster shots help individuals maximize immunity against Covid-19.

    This, the panel said, lowers risk of complications from severe illness and death.

    Booster shots have been seen to significantly reduced deaths as zero deaths and hospitalizations were recorded in Bahrain for individuals after two weeks of receiving a booster shot, said the local reports.
