With evidence growing of the benefits of a third COVID vaccine dose, some doctors say there’s an urgent need to change the definition, but there are potential drawbacks
As restaurants, bars, gyms and other venues reopen to half-capacity on Monday, the Omicron variant is still spreading, and some doctors and scientists say that it’s time for the official definition of “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 to change.
With growing evidence showing that three doses are better at protecting against symptomatic infection from Omicron, as well as serious outcomes such as hospitalization and death, there are calls for the province to require individuals to get three shots to qualify as fully vaccinated.
