Booster shots to prevent infections from coronavirus mutations will become the norm in the future, according to a top genome expert in the United Kingdom.
"We have to appreciate that we were always going to have to have booster doses; immunity to coronavirus doesn’t last forever," Sharon Peacock, the head of the COVID-19 Genomics UK, exclusively told Reuters. COG-UK, which was created by Peacock about a year ago in response to COVID-19 and is a consortium of public health and academic institutions, has sequenced some 349,205 genomes of the virus out of a global effort of about 778,000 genomes, the outlet reported.
Just like the annual flu shot, boosters for COVID-19 will likely be needed to combat coronavirvus variants that could occur in the future, said Peacock.
"We already are tweaking the vaccines to deal with what the virus is doing in terms of evolution — so there are variants arising that have a combination of increased transmissibility and an ability to partially evade our immune response," she added.

“And I’m sure you didn’t say anything to deserve it, did you? You were just minding your own business, worshipping Jesus with the other AMAVCDT choirboys and then out of nowhere, someone told you to FOAD. Sure.”
Interesting that you think that opinions on vax posted here would be deserving of a death wish.
Like I said, a member of the AMAVCDT threatened my life because I administer vaccines and just last night you called me “the domestic enemy” because? I’m confident that you have earned any condemnations heaped upon you. You really aren’t someone that I even want to talk to to. I’m done with you. Consider yourself ignored from here on out.
Anyone promoting the scamdemic and all that follows is wittingly or unwittingly assisting in the destruction of the Republic. Domestic enemy is accurate, as to survival of the Republic. The only other possibility is “useless idiot”.
Haven’t got one. Ain’t getting one. We’ll go off the grid if need be.
Really? How
I’m genuinely curious what part you are referring to
Booster my eye!!!
Big pharma wealth transfer ...state sponsored theft.
I’m generally against those healthy and under 40 getting the vax.
In order of increasing importance:
They’re of childbearing age and so far there is np proof that covid hurts their chance of successful child-bearing and no proof that the vax doesn’t (yeah it’s a stretch and I list it as the least important reason).
Likelihood of severe consequences from covid are very low- almost negligible.
Most important: we need to get those vaccines into the arms of those who are at much, much higher risk instead.
...my opinion on waiting years for a vaccine that’s been proven in trials for over a year. The mRNA vaccines don’t change DNA. The FDA is a bravo delta (broken) bureaucracy. Drain the swamp, I say.
This is the 21st Century. Let some of us get a move on. Others may do as they wish.
Not my family, not taking it. Heading to FL, SC or TX if need be
