The booster is identical to the regular Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and is to be given at least six months after the first two vaccine doses. Clinical trials have shown side-effects more or less the same as those experienced with the original two doses of the vaccine.
Those provinces have so far been using the vaccines “off label,” since until now they were not authorized for a three-dose regimen, according to Health Canada.Provinces and territories are able to use health products outside the scope of what they are specifically approved for. Health Canada said it’s called the “practice of medicine,” and it is regulated by provincial and territorial governments.
There is no evidence of waning protection over time against severe COVID-19 in the general vaccinated population, according to NACI’s latest advice.
