High-risk groups eligible for COVID boosters

The new COVID-19 variant has now been detected in Ontario — BA.3.2, nicknamed "cicada", due to it being dormant before a sudden rise in cases. As such, high-risk groups are eligible to receive COVID-19 spring boosters, based on the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).

Recommendations state that adults aged 80 and older should receive an additional vaccine dose this spring, while those aged 65 to 79 may also do so if they wish.

Additional doses are also recommended for adult residents of long-term care and other congregate living settings, as well as individuals aged 55 and older who identify as First Nations, Inuit, or Métis — and their non-Indigenous household members aged 55 and older.
