Quebec is the first province in Canada to stop advising the COVID booster to almost everyone

Dr. Luc Boileau announced the change in guidance at a news conference on Thursday.

“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,” the province’s public health director said.

Boileau further said the only people who should get a COVID booster are those over 60 and vulnerable individuals who don’t have natural immunity.

At the end of the press conference, Boileau was caught on a hot mic saying “I wonder what we’re going to do with all of those vaccines.”

This development makes Quebec the first province in Canada to stop recommending vaccines to young and healthy populations. It’s also a tacit admission that natural immunity offers at least equal protection as the COVID vaccine.

Notably, Quebec’s decision goes against the Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC) guidance.

“It’s important to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations to reduce the risks of severe illness and death from COVID-19,” PHAC’s website reads.

“Bivalent vaccines are approved as booster doses for those 5 years of age and over.”
