Canadians may be in the thick of winter, but the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recently unveiled spring guidelines for an extra dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Starting in the spring of 2024, NACI recommends that the following Canadians who are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 may receive an additional dose of XBB.1.5 vaccine:

  • adults 65 years of age and older
  • adult residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings for seniors
  • individuals six months and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised (due to an underlying condition or treatment)
