countries like the us, uk, germany and even here in singapore are looking at, or have started administeringn citizens. the world health organization has repeatedly called for a delay, arguing that current data does not indicate a need for a third dose. they say its more crucial that people worldwide are fully vaccinated before high—income countries deploy a top—up. dr poh lian lim, a member on the expert committee of covid—i9 vaccination here in singapore explained the science behind the boosters. different agencies have different mandates for the populations they serve. the who has a mandate to care about global public health, so it makes sense for the who to advocate for countries that have large proportions of the populations who remain unvaccinated to have better access to covid—i9 vaccines. governments for countries, however, have a mandate to protect the health of their populations and to make sound policies based on evidence, so emerging data shows that people who are older and those who are immunocompromised would benefit from the protection from a third dose of covid—i9 vaccine esp
