Its kind of sad. According to research in the UK, the efficacy of the booster to prevent infections begins to wane after 4 weeks (and only starts at 75%). So its as effective as the flu shot at preventing the flu for a couple weeks, but by week ten its only 40% effective (and still degrading). If you really wanted to prevent infections, you'd need a booster at least quarterly, and for best results, monthly.


However, the efficacy of booster shots starts to decline after about four weeks, according to the study. Boosters were 55% to 70% effective at preventing infection at weeks five to nine, and 40% to 50% effective 10 weeks after receiving the shot.

Data from the United Kingdom found that Moderna and Pfizer’s two-dose vaccines are only about 10% effective at preventing symptomatic infection from omicron 20 weeks after the second dose.
