B.C. health officials are now encouraging all British Columbians five years of age and older to receive a COVID-19 booster shot.

This comes as the province prepares for a surge in COVID-19 cases in November and December connected to the respiratory illness season. Starting this week, the Moderna bivalent vaccine will start arriving in the province. The Health Canada-approved vaccine has a greater effect against the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

“It is vaccination that has allowed us to get to this point. It has meant we no longer need those restrictive measures,” B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday.

“The level of immunity through infection and vaccination has been a game changer.”

The province will require at least a six-month gap between booster doses, including both third and fourth shots.
