Benefits of a Booster Shot
Getting a Pfizer booster shot provides several benefits:
- Increased immunity against COVID-19: Booster shots significantly boost antibody levels, providing improved protection against the virus, including new variants.
- Reduced risk of severe illness and hospitalization: Booster shots have been shown to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death due to COVID-19.
- Protection for vulnerable populations: Booster shots are particularly important for individuals with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and those at high risk of severe illness.
