Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health Individuals says seniors aged 65 years and over are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
He is recommending that individuals in this age group receive an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine this spring to provide added protection as immunity may have decreased over time.
Eligible people may receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it has been six months since their previous dose or confirmed COVID-19 infection unless a shorter interval is specifically recommended by a health care provider.
