Fauci: Boosters Work Against Omicron

Writer's picture: Min SongMin Song

Available booster shots against COVID-19 are enough to reduce serious disease caused by the highly transmissible Omicron variant, top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci, MD, said Wednesday.

"Our booster vaccine regimens work against Omicron," he said at a White House news briefing. "At this point, there is no need for a variant-specific booster."

In the weeks since Omicron was first detected, scientists have been scrambling to collect data on its infection rates, how severe a disease it causes, and how well available vaccines work against it.
