Abstract:
A second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine is a widely discussed issue globally. This letter to the editor describes on possible additional immunoprotection due to the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine. According to the modeling study, it can demonstrate that the fourth dosage of COVID-19 vaccination can still provide extra immunoprotection in case that previous doses are not the highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
