Some experts recently asked for a second booster dose for people who have already taken a booster dose six months ago and those with comorbidities during a virtual meeting between the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and other doctors and Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on the situation and preparedness surrounding Covid19 in the country.
