Israel will now offer a third dose of vaccine to anyone over 60. It is meant as a booster. They are the first country to do this.
I suspect Canada will follow and roll this out in the Fall as it's common sense. I am thankful that at the federal level at least we appear to have used some risk management skills entrenched in government to accept that you need to make decisions ahead of the science in serious high-risk situations, though it took a hell of a lot of people dying to finally get to this point.
