- Officially, the third dose of the vaccine cannot be taken in the United States
- However, there are Americans who, fearing the Delta variant, demand a third injection. To obtain a preparation, they show false documents
- “We still don’t have a convincing body of evidence that a third dose is needed. Our knowledge of the subject is constantly changing, said Dr. Katherine O’Brien, WHO’s head of vaccines.

Will a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine be needed?
The first suggestions that it will probably be necessary to take a third dose of the vaccine came after information that a new, dangerous variant of the coronavirus is spreading around the world.
The World Health Organization is still examining whether a third dose will be required. So far, according to the current knowledge, there is no such necessity. And fully vaccinated (with two doses) offers good protection against COVID-19. “We still don’t have a convincing body of evidence as to whether a third dose is needed or not. Our knowledge of the subject is constantly changing, said Dr. Katherine O’Brien, WHO’s head of vaccines.
- Is a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine necessary? Explains the virologist
Although the current research shows that the so-called a booster dose may be needed for immunocompromised people, over 60 years of age, and healthcare professionals. However, there is still no final WHO decision on the third dose.
WHO criticizes countries where the third dose is administered
Despite this, there are already countries in the world that have decided to give their citizens the third dose. They include, among others Israel, Germany, Our Country and Great Britain. The countries’ decision was heavily criticized by WHO representatives, who believe that richer countries should refrain from administering the third dose as long as there are countries that have problems with vaccinating at least all health workers.
US citizens went one step further. There were people who on their own, not paying attention to the applicable regulations, decided to get the third dose of the vaccine.
Americans are getting the third dose on their own
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to approve a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, considering that there is no evidence that it is now necessary. It turns out, however, that at least 900 Americans took the third injection. To get it, they look for loopholes in the local law. It is also becoming popular to show a false identity card in order to cheat the registration system. People come to pharmacies with an ID card they don’t own and convince them that they have not taken any dose yet. It is difficult to track how many such people there are because there are so many medical service providers in the US.
