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.
In a press conference Tuesday morning, Premier Francois Legault, Health Minister Christian Dubé, Public Health Director Dr. Luc Boileau and Comité sur l'immunisation du Québec (CIQ) President Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh announced the launch of a new vaccination campaign ahead of the fall.
Appointments for second booster shots are now open to all adults in Quebec. Quebec's Ministry of Health announced on Twitter Wednesday that it would make fourth COVID-19 vaccine doses available to everyone between the ages of 18 and 59. Everyone 60 and over has been able to get a fourth dose since April 11.
