\nDo you need a booster shot? Tune in to hear vegan Dr. Chen O'Neil clear the air about booster shots. Public health experts recommend boosters only for those whose immune systems prevent them from getting full protection from the original dosage or are at extreme risk. The major concern? The inequitable vaccination among wealthier countries and the global vaccine shortage leaves billions of people unvaccinated and fails to stop widespread transmission. On July 8th, the CDC put out a statement saying: \u201cPeople who are fully vaccinated are protected from severe disease and death, including from the variants currently circulating in the country such as Delta. People who are not vaccinated remain at risk. Virtually all COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are among those who are unvaccinated. We encourage Americans who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect themselves and their community.\u201d
