2Nd Covid 19 Boosters To Be Offered To New Brunswickers 50

“Vaccines are our best defense against COVID-19 and its variants, helping to protect against serious virus-related outcomes,” Dr Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer, said in a statement on Friday. “Extending the suitability for amplifiers will provide an additional level of protection against the Omicron and BA.2 variants.” The decision is based on new guidelines from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, “along with demographic, epidemiological, chronic disease burden and New Brunswick-specific hospitalization data,” according to a press release from the Department of Health. Second booster doses will be available at participating pharmacies from 19 April. Public Health, in consultation with NACI, will continue to evaluate the second booster doses for adults under 50, young people aged 12 to 17, those living in centralized or vulnerable environments, and those working in vulnerable areas, including health workers. he said. Until now, fourth doses in New Brunswick were only available to severely to moderately immunocompromised individuals 12 years of age and older, five months after their third dose. Public Health “unreservedly recommends” a second booster dose for people aged 70 and over and permanent residents of long-term care, “as age is one of the highest risk factors for serious outcomes and hospitalization”. First Nation, Inuit and Métis individuals and non-Indigenous household members aged 18 and over, as well as any New Brunswicker aged 50 to 69, may receive a second souvenir if at least five months have elapsed since their last dose. . Anyone who has recently been infected with COVID-19 should wait three months before receiving a booster dose, the announcement advises. For example, if four months have passed since the last dose, but a person is just recovering from COVID-19, they will have to wait another three months to receive their booster dose.

“Rapid growth” is encouraged.

Earlier this week, NACI issued a “strong” recommendation to prepare provinces for the “rapid development” of the second COVID-19 booster shots for people aged 80 and over and those living in long-term care and other gatherings. In a statement issued on Tuesday, NACI stressed the need to prevent “protection against a serious illness that could potentially diminish over time after the first booster dose” and to mitigate the risk of highly contagious variants that could avoid immunity. NACI is also advising the counties to consider offering a second souvenir to people aged 70 to 79 in the community. A second booster dose “could also be considered” for adults under 70 from or from the First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, in collaboration with health and public health partners, he said. Second-dose immunization programs for other high-risk groups and the general public “may be needed in the future if data suggest COVID-19 pandemic trends,” he added. The NACI suggested the provinces provide second boosts six months after people received their previous dose, but a shorter period “may be justified in some individuals in the context of a rapidly evolving pandemic,” it said.

Imports are at record levels

New Brunswick reported nine more COVID-19-related deaths and 78 people being treated for the virus in its weekly update on Tuesday, a new site called COVIDWATCH, which replaces the COVID-19 dashboard. People who were initially admitted to hospital for another reason and later tested positive for COVID are no longer included. However, the General Director of Health Dr. Jennifer Russell told CBC News that the combined total is actually 178 – an increase of 36 from last week and a record high. The previous record was 165 on February 2. Nine people need intensive care. There are 8,670 new COVID cases, including 3,888 PCR-confirmed and 4,782 self-reported rapid tests. The number of active cases in the province now stands at 6,134, recording an increase of 1,181.
