that it would be shortening the amount of time between offering second and third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to three months, down from five months.
While residents across the country must contend with booster eligibility requirements based on their province or territory of residence, Muhajarine said he still encourages those who have received their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least three to five months ago to get the booster dose as quickly as possible.
“People who have had two doses and are more than three months after their second dose really need to behave as if they weren't vaccinated when it comes to their risk of infection,” he said. “Vaccine protection against infection is basically just diminishing to next to zero now.”
