Province Reminds Community Members To Get A Bivalent COVID-19 Booster

By Jay Herrington

The province out with a statement, reminding British Columbians to get vaccinated with a bivalent COVID-19 booster.

 

The province says it's the most effective protection against the Omicron variants of COVID-19.

Since September 1st  more than 1.6-million people have received a bivalent COVID-19 booster.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) does not recommend a second bivalent booster dose for those who have already received one in the fall as they are still protected against COVID-19.

Updated NACI guidance on the need for further bivalent boosters is expected in the coming weeks.

For information on obtaining a second bivalent booster dose, visit Government of British Columbia.
