VICTORIA, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) — Dropping the term “booster shot,” the British Columbia health administration is now calling future doses of the experimental COVID-19 shot “updated seasonal” vaccines.
On August 4, British Columbia health officer Bonnie Henry announced that residents should take another dose of the COVID vaccine in September or October, which should be considered an updated vaccine, not a booster shot.
“I’m really thinking of this as an updated seasonal vaccine, as opposed to a booster, because the protection that we have from the previous vaccines that we’ve received still provides good strong cell-mediated immunity,” Henry said in an interview with the Victoria Times Colonist.
The push to vaccinate B.C. residents comes on the heels of a July 11 recommendation from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, which advocated for Canadians to receive another COVID shot this fall if they have not had one in the past six months or have not had COVID in the past six months.
“Regardless of how many vaccines you’ve had in the past, getting this updated one will be important for everybody… to protect you going into this fall,” Henry asserted.
