New COVID-19 cases have decreased in Canada – and so has the vaccination uptake. Here's why some experts recommend booster vaccines for those planning to travel this summer.
If you or someone you know’s vacation was derailed by COVID last summer, you may find this interesting.
Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends a booster dose six months after the last dose of a primary series or COVID infection – whichever is later – for everyone aged five years old and up.
But so far, (NACI) has only recommended additional COVID-19 booster shots for those who are at an increased risk of severe illness, including seniors, long-term care residents and immunocompromised adults.
The recommended time to get a booster is at least six months after the last COVID-19 vaccine dose or infection because immunity wanes over time, according to NACI.
