Canadians should get another COVID-19 vaccine booster in the fall if it’s been at least six months since their last dose or COVID-19 infection says the National Advisory Committee on Immunization.
The recommendation came on Tuesday, July 11.
In a statement, NACI said “booster doses in the fall will be formulations updated to target more recent, immune-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants. Individuals vaccinated with the updated formulation are expected to benefit from a better immune response against these variants compared to current vaccines.”
Both Pfizer-BioTech and Moderna have started the process to get the new formulations of their mRNA COVID-19 vaccines approved by Health Canada.
NTV’s Marykate O’Neill will have more tonight on the NTV Evening Newshour.
