Boosters will target the vulnerable, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced Friday.
The provincial government will not be recommending COVID-19 boosters to the general public this spring.
B.C. will now recommend people over the age of 80 or living in long-term care, Indigenous people over 70 and anyone over 60 who has not caught COVID-19 yet get a COVID-19 booster dose starting in April. Henry said protection from the virus from previous vaccine doses or natural infection wanes faster in older people "and it tends to wane or decrease more quickly."
She said it is also possible a pan-COVID vaccine could be found that would provide protection for several years, but that is only speculation.
