OTTAWA, April 5 (Xinhua) -- The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) of Canada Tuesday recommended that the provinces and territories prepare for rapid deployment of second COVID-19 booster doses in the coming weeks.
In an initial guidance on the use of second COVID-19 booster doses in Canada, the NACI strongly advised that residents of long-term care homes or other congregate living settings for seniors, as well as adults 80 years of age and over living in the community, be prioritized for second booster doses, adding that this guidance is based on current evidence and the NACI's expert opinion.
