WHO Europe Deict Says Covid 19 Vaccine Booster Doses Are Not A Luxury.

Hans Kluge appears to have contradicted senior colleagues, who've criticised booster jabs when many people in poor countries haven't been immunised at all.

But he says research shows top-up vaccines are clinically effective - and that message must be backed up
