Now that Health Canada has approved use of the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, BC is preparing to deploy them to clinics in time for the fall booster campaign.
Many people who have had their first booster will by now be eligible for their next booster in order to maintain high levels of immunity against COVID-19 and its variant forms throughout the colder months when respiratory viruses more commonly spread.
