I just saw that Quebec has released some new guidelines for boosters which are interesting, to say the least.
Quote:
Quebec is changing its vaccine strategy: public health officials are now recommending booster shots only for people who have never had COVID-19.
Quebec public health director Dr. Luc Boileau made the announcement at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
"There is no need to get vaccinated if we have had the experience of COVID-19 infection and that we have been vaccinated so far, at least two doses," he said.
Public health is only recommending a booster shot every six months for those who have not been infected and for people who are immunosuppressed, even if they have been infected.
"What we are seeing in the surveillance data and the effectiveness data is that people who have been infected even though they were infected prior to the Omicron wave, so that's over a year ago, we still have good protection against hospitalization and mortality," she said.
Quach-Thanh said hybrid immunity provides much better protection against infection compared to vaccination alone for infection alone, adding that no one should purposely infect themselves.
