The province is slightly expanding eligibility for a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Now, residents of congregate elderly persons housing can receive a third dose of the vaccine, Vaccine Implementation Task Force medical lead Dr. Joss Reimer announced on Wednesday.
The provincial recommendation follows the National Advisory Committee on Immunization making the same recommendation for seniors living in personal care homes and assisted living facilities.
There are approximately 500 seniors living facilities in the province, Reimer said, and the province will work with them to ensure plans are in place for people to receive their third shot.
See Thursday’s newspaper for more details.
