WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING A COVID-19 VACCINATION
Health Canada advises that over time, protection from COVID-19 vaccines can decrease. Booster doses trigger your immune system to make more antibodies, which can increase the immune response and help improve protection against COVID-19. Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters, will help protect you from severe COVID-19 disease. This is especially important with the Omicron variant widespread in Canada and the possibility of new variants.
Health Canada has now authorized the first bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine for adults 18 years and older. It targets 2 strains of the COVID-19 virus (original strain and Omicron strain).
Both the original COVID-19 booster vaccine and bivalent booster vaccine are very effective, and it is recommended not to delay getting one, especially if you are at an increased risk.
