The study was done to determine the protective efficacy of vaccination in healthy young adults 1 to 4 years after the three dose vaccination series and to study the effect of a booster dose on non-responders and hypo-responders. DESIGN Prospectiv...

To contain the SARS-CoV-2 infection a number of measures including vaccination had taken to reduce virus transmission and mortality.
