Course Description

With guidance around COVID-19 vaccination evolving over time, this program aims to address questions that clinicians may currently face in clinical practice: should we vaccinate individuals who have already have COVID? If so, when? Who is eligible for a first booster dose? Who is eligible for a second booster dose? Should adolescents receive booster vaccination?

The overall goal of the program is to increase clinicians’ confidence in discussing COVID-19 vaccination with their patients and vaccinating eligible patients.

This learning activity is supported by Pfizer Canada through an unrestricted educational grant and may contain content that is not consistent with the approved Pfizer Canadian Product Monograph.
