The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, criticized the program of continuous revaccination against coronavirus in developed countries. It diverts resources from primary vaccination in the poorest countries and increases the chances of dangerous mutations becoming fixed, he says.

“Total revaccination will prolong the pandemic rather than end it, because the stock will be diverted to countries that already have a high proportion of vaccinated, and this will give the virus more opportunities to spread and mutate,” the head of WHO said. “No country is going to get out of a pandemic with booster shots.”

Israel is the first country in the world to launch a fourth-dose revaccination program aimed at counteracting the omicron strain. In the meantime, the United States has launched a third-dose revaccination program for the entire population over 16 years of age, and a booster vaccine is also available in Europe.
according to a new study The risk of hospitalization with omicron is three-quarters lower than with delta, from Scotland. This is similar to the results of another study in South Africa, which showed an 80% reduction in the likelihood of hospitalization with "omicron".
However, scientists emphasize that the severity of the course of the disease among those hospitalized is approximately the same, and due to greater contagiousness, the load on hospitals may be higher. More than 100,000 new cases have been registered in the UK today.
In Russia , they warn that the disease caused by "omicron" is more severe among unvaccinated individuals with risk factors, especially in older age groups.

WHO warned developed countries about the risks of blanket revaccination
