B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says the COVID-19 vaccine should be looked at as a seasonal vaccine rather than as a booster.

Dr. Henry has made the comments a number of times in the last few weeks, most recently telling the Victoria Times Colonist that the province is preparing for a fall vaccine campaign, while waiting for the latest version of COVID vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna under review by Health Canada.
