The comments in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet come a week before the Biden administration says it plans to begin offering Covid vaccine booster shots to the general public.

The scientists said boosting could be appropriate for some individuals, such as those with weakened immune systems, who dont produce an adequate immune response after receiving two doses of a vaccine.
