Canadians may be in the thick of winter, but the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recently unveiled spring guidelines for an extra dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Starting in the spring of 2024, NACI recommends that the following Canadians who are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 may receive an additional dose of XBB.1.5 vaccine:
- adults 65 years of age and older
- adult residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings for seniors
- individuals six months and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised (due to an underlying condition or treatment)
Damn, after reading just the title, I thought I might be eligible for an 8th shot. Sadly it’s still 6 months apart for us. 😅
You’ve gotten 8?! How many 5G bars do you get?
Got 7. Full bars of 5G.
