Quebec is no longer recommending that everyone get a booster shot and is instead advising it is only for those who are considered at risk for severe COVID-19 and who haven’t already been infected, the province’s public health director says.

Speaking at a press conference on Feb. 2, Dr. Luc Boileau said booster shots for Quebecers who have achieved hybrid immunity—through COVID-19 vaccination and infection—are unnecessary.
