In its Rapid Risk Assessment of 15 December 2021, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control noted that according to currently available evidence, booster doses will increase protection against severe outcomes caused by the ‘Delta’ variant of concern, and preliminary evaluations also suggest boosters could increase protection against the ‘Omicron’ variant of concern, with an expected higher population impact if the booster dose is given within a short interval of time to most of the adult population.
