The 'geographic' argument for Covid-19 booster shots

Booster shots for Covid-19 are being debated around the world for use in bolstering immunity with the hopes of stagnating infection rates of the virus. The discussion has been focused around which demographic of individuals should be considered for a booster, whether it be age group or health status. We propose a BC specific argument for the strategic administration of booster shots looking at geographical location as an important variable. While certain at-risk demographics would certainly benefit from a booster shot, we present an argument for prioritizing boosters for those living in remote areas and low vaccination rates to prevent the general transmission of more transmissible variants.
