B.C. health officials recommend a fall booster for COVID-19
B.C. health officials Friday issued a recommendation that eligible residents receive a fall booster for COVID-19 in the fall.
This comes as B.C. is seeing a rise in the Omicron BA.5 variant, Acting Provincial Health Officer Dr. Martin Lavoie said Friday.
Details are still being released but officials say everyone 65 and over will be receiving an invite first and then everyone from age 12 to 64 in an age-based rollout.
Residents 11 years old and under are not eligible for any booster shot.
