Guangdong, Zhejiang and Henan provinces will start administering booster doses of vaccine to residents this month to strengthen their immunity to COVID-19 as sporadic outbreaks are reported in some parts of China. Those targeted for a third dose are people aged 18 to 59 who received two doses of inactivated coronavirus vaccine at least six months ago, authorities said.

　　【知识点】

　　所谓疫苗加强针(booster shot/booster dose)，是指在完成疫苗接种后，根据抗体消退的情况进行补充接种，保持人体对病毒免疫力的疫苗剂次。这里的核 心词booster，来源于动词boost，主要表示“加强、促进、推动”等意思，比如boost production(促生产)，boost morale(提振士气)等，在这里表示“increase or renew the effect of the vaccine”，即“增强疫苗产生的效果”。

　　加强针效果如何?

　　Research has shown that a person's antibody level will be increased more than tenfold if a third dose of vaccine is given more than six months after the second, and that immunity will be maintained at a relatively high level for another six months.

　　研究发现，接种疫苗第二剂后6个月再接种一剂，抗体水平增幅达到十多倍。 接种后，再过6个月还能维持在比较高的水平。
