>>13823335Some states like Israel have already mandated booster shots, officially implemented in their vax passport system. Vax passports in Israel expire after six months from getting the second shot, requiring you to get a third one in order to keep your vax passport valid and keep going to restaurants and other places of business. Also, Israel is preparing a fourth wave of shots (2nd boosters) in advance for when the third wave wears off of their population. Presumably, they will be mandating new booster shots every six months or possibly even more frequently. Presumably, other countries are headed in a similar direction as well. Canada implemented a country-wide vax passport system less than a month ago.

"Dr Anne Moore, a vaccine specialist at UCC’s school of biochemistry, said there would be a large increase in cases until there was a 'transmission-blocking vaccine' as it appeared the capacity of vaccines [i.e. mRNA] to prevent transmission appeared to wane over time.
She said the National immunisation Advisory Committee 'need to crack on' and approve booster shots immediately for frontline healthcare workers with the likelihood that everyone will ultimately require a third dose due to waning immunity.
'I think we will eventually have to boost the rest of the population … because we are going to see a huge increase in the number of cases,' she said."
