  • Most Canadians can skip the COVID booster in the spring, according to the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI). However, this recommendation does not apply to everyone. It has been over three years since the start of the pandemic, and some individuals may feel that they have had enough vaccinations. While a large portion of the population has already received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine or has been infected with the virus, there are groups that are still advised to get a spring booster shot. These high-risk groups include individuals aged 80 and older, people 65 and above who have never had COVID, adults living in long-term care homes, and individuals over 18 who are immunocompromised or have complex medical care needs. The World Health Organization's vaccine experts also state that healthy kids and teens between the ages of six months and 17 years can skip the booster shot. Some individuals, like 88-year-old Bertie LaRussic, have already received multiple COVID vaccines and plan on getting another for added protection. Overall, the focus should be on protecting those who are most vulnerable to the virus. Pharmacies in areas with a higher elderly population have been busy administering boosters despite the recommendation.
  • Subtitles section
  • First at five tonight.
  • No need for a needle.
  • The National Advisory Committee on Immunization says most Canadians can hold off on a spring booster to protect against COVID-19.
  • But SCTV's Ryan McDonald explains the latest recommendations don't apply to everyone.
  • Ryan.
  • Jason and Maria, it's now been more than three years since the start of the pandemic here and many people would say they are done getting vaccinated.
  • Still though, there are portions of the population who are being told that they should get their spring shot.
  • By now, a large portion of the population has either had the COVID-19 vaccine, the virus or both.
  • Two doses of COVID.
  • The relatively young and healthy people I ran into today didn't plan on getting another shot regardless of recommendations.
  • Yeah, I think that's enough.
  • Now many are being told it probably is.
  • The National Advisory Committee on Immunization says most Canadians who are healthy and fully vaccinated can pass on a spring booster, though they're still recommending another shot for groups considered high risk,
  • Including those 80 and older, people 65 and up who have never had COVID, adults living in long-term care homes, and people over 18 who are immunocompromised or have complex medical care needs.
  • The World Health Organization's vaccine experts say healthy kids and teens between six months and 17 years can skip it too.
  • I've had them all.
  • Bertie LaRussic has already had five COVID vaccines.
  • With his 88th birthday coming up, he plans on getting another.
  • I'm over 80. We need protection, and if that gives protection, then I'm all for it.
  • I think right now this is the focus that we should have.
  • This pharmacist in Bidak generally agrees with the recommendations, though in an area that serves an older population, he has been busy with boosters.
  • We just did a Moderna shot today for the first time in weeks and weeks and weeks, and they fill up immediately.
  • This data from public health in Ottawa shows most people have had at least two doses, but barely 30 percent have bothered with a fourth, and in large public gatherings like last night's Cape Breton Eagles playoff game,
  • Most aren't wearing masks.
  • Although COVID seems largely out of the public consciousness, health professionals still recommend being vigilant.
  • Wash your hands is a really good, simple act to do to keep from spreading the virus or any virus.
  • Now as for when or if low-risk Canadians should get their next boost, public health officials say that technically they can do so six months after their last dose, but for now it's probably better to wait for further guidance,
  • Or to simply check with provincial booster recommendations.
  • Jason and Maria?
  • That's some good advice.
  • Thank you, Ryan.
  • CTV's Ryan McDonald for us in Sydney.
