COVID-19: Tam says definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ for border measures to remain 2 doses ‘at this moment in time’
Description
March 18, 2022
Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday that the definition of fully vaccinated would remain at two approved vaccine doses. She said this is due to the various timing of different groups of people able to get a booster shot, as well as other countries not even having booster access yet. However, if a severe variant were to appear, she said border measures could be reexamined if necessary.
