Health officials in B.C. will be providing more information Friday on COVID-19 booster shots for the spring.

B.C.’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix will be providing the update at 1:30 p.m. PT.

Last week, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) advised that high-risk individuals should get a booster.

That includes those living in long-term care homes, people aged 65-79 especially if they haven’t had the virus, and anyone aged 80 years and up.

The federal committee also advises adults who are 18 years old and up, who are “moderately to severely” immunocompromised, to also get a booster.
