Immunocompromised individuals should get the third booster shot.

Should, but if you’re immunocompromised it may do little. If you have nearly no immune system, it’s not gonna produce much in the way of defence. The immunocompromised really do depend on the immune systems of those they interact with every day (which is why antivaxxers/antimaskers deserve no place in a functioning society).

Is Canada administrating antibodies? That should be the way to go for immunocompromised individuals.

What we should really implement, especially to help immunocompromised individuals, is universal mandatory vaccination.

I can see a tightening on capacity and gathering limits coming down the pipeline.

Once we cross 1000 daily cases with Christmas and New Years coming up there will likely be a need to tighten things up.

Even my company isn't sure if we can do our Condo Management exams in person this year given the uptick in cases.
