US to begin offering COVID vaccine booster jabs in September
Al Jazeera, 19 Aug 2021
The US government says it will offer COVID-19 vaccine booster jabs from September 20 as COVID-19 cases rise due to the prevalence of the Delta variant.
The decision comes as health experts say protection from the shots wanes as early as six months.
But some Americans are still opposed to the idea of getting a first jab.
