Call your pharmacy and get your booster💉 shot. Never mind what stage the government program is at:

⚠️
"New Brunswick has the highest COVID-19 risk index in the country right now — more than double the national average..."
⚠️
"That means there are between 10,000 and 21,000 infections in New Brunswick per week..."
⚠️

@penpencilbrush My mom mentioned that she doesn't even qualify for a booster these days. I'm not sure what the requirements are, but she's > 65, so that seems pretty restrictive...

@kh Don't know where your Mom lives, but if she's over 65 in Canada, she probably qualifies. It might take a few phone calls to organize it. Each vial contains 6 doses, so pharm or dr want 6 people to want the vax.

In Ontario boosters were recommended in the spring so too early for another till the fall, then they might have combo COVID/flu shots.

@the5thColumnist Same here, but they're still available if you ask nicely.
Government recommendations are not unassailable laws.
