The agency published the information online on Friday, along with the National Advisory Committee on Immunization’s COVID-19 vaccine guidance for 2025 through to the summer of 2026.
The advisory committee says seniors who are 80 years and older, residents of long-term care homes and people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised should get two doses of COVID-19 vaccine per year.
It also recommends that all adults 65 years and older, health-care workers and people at higher risk of severe COVID-19 illness should get one shot a year if they’ve previously been vaccinated.
The committee says in all cases, the most up-to-date COVID vaccine should be used.
The guidance says that those who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine can get their first two-dose series anytime because the virus circulates throughout the year.
