MANILA, Philippines — Health experts said on Wednesday that for now, they would not recommend giving second booster shots to other priority groups, particularly, economic front-liners and people with comorbidities. In fact, the incremental benefit from the second dose to the first booster is very big. But the incremental benefit between the first booster and the second booster is much smaller compared to that between [the] second dose and the first booster,” Salvaña said. Just waitThe government recently started administering second booster shots to immunocompromised persons, regardless of which priority sector they belong to, followed by health workers and the elderly. And currently, evidence to support benefits for boosters are for those identified which are the immunocompromised, seniors and health-care workers,” Lim said.
