Global News
All seniors living in congregate settings should be offered a 3rd COVID-19 shot at least six months after their last dose, NACI said.
Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is now recommending that COVID-19 booster shots for residents of long-term care homes and seniors living in other congregate settings.
According to the updated recommendation from NACI on Tuesday, seniors who have already received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered a third shot at least six months after their last dose.
However, a booster dose of the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccine should only be considered when an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine – from Pfizer and Moderna – is contraindicated or inaccessible, NACI said.
