BV as boosters give better protection for sick and those above 60, says expert

GEORGE TOWN: There is a need for bivalent vaccines (BV) as boosters for the sick and people above their 60s, says a medical expert.

Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) virologist Dr Kumitaa Theva Das said some of the early data showed that the BV resulted in lower hospitalisations in comparison to the monovalent vaccines.
