Quebec is no longer recommending the COVID-19 booster shot for healthy individuals. Public Health Director Dr. Luc Boileau announced the most recent change in vaccine protocol during a Thursday press conference, stating that only those who are at risk and who haven't had COVID-19 before should get the booster dose.
Health Canada has approved another COVID-19 booster shot targeting the Omicron variant. The agency is encouraging Canadians aged 12 and older to get a dose of the updated Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty vaccine.
