After battling the Covid-19 virus and its variants for a long time, the world is recovering gradually. Therefore, all the countries came together to promote vaccination for this severe viral disease.

As per WHO, the booster dose is an additional medication given to those who have completed the first two Covid-19 vaccinations. Experts have stated over time the impact of the Covid-19 vaccine weakens, impacting its effect. Thus, a supporting medicine is essential to revitalise the effects of those vaccine series.
Healthcare experts have stated that an individual has the necessary protection after two primary Covid-19 vaccines. Nevertheless, a booster dose helps to ensure that the impact created by those shots stays for a longer period.
Experts’ stress that those who complete the vaccination set and get the booster dose has better chances of tackling the deadly virus and almost no chances of being severely ill.
However, it has been observed that people who have the eligibility to get a booster shot refuse to get the vaccine. This is because of two reasons.

Another group thinks their bodies have the antibodies because they have been infected by the coronavirus previously. Hence, there is no need for another shot.
Booster shots are now easily available to everyone above five years of age. However, not everyone can get it immediately.
Here is a list of people who have the eligibility for getting booster shots.

The price for this booster dose is much lower than the initial vaccine series. It has been announced in India anyone with eligibility for booster dose can avail of free booster shots at any Government hospital. Nevertheless, those getting shots from private hospitals must pay around ₹ 400.
During the first two shots, people had to register through CoWin to book slots for vaccination and needed identity proof. Nonetheless, since the registration was previously done at that time, no additional identity proof is now required to get a booster dose.
You can carry your CDC vaccine card so that your booster dose can get included. However, this is not mandatory.
