Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, said a spring booster will be made available for seniors 80+, Indigenous people 70+, seniors living in long-term care, and people 18+ who are immunocompromised. “For people aged 50 and under, as many as 80 to 90 per cent have some combination of protection from both vaccinations and infection,” Henry said. “So that’s good and what we’re learning as we’re going through this whole thing, globally, is that that level of protection, your immune system, remembers that for a longer period of time.
