The booster shot works – that’s clear looking at the latest numbers from the Federal Health Office.

For those over 60 years old the figures show the risk of hospital admission is down by two thirds for those who have had three doses compared to just 2 jabs. It also cuts the risk of death by 75%.

The numbers are even more stark when compared to those who have not been vaccinated at all. The risk of admission and death is down by 90% for the vaccinated. 

The analysis of the numbers shows what many have suspected, the effectiveness of the double dose drops over time – especially against the Omicron strain.
