Northeast BC… so we’re talking in Peace River country / Alberta Lite? Or west of Fort Nelson?

So I'm right on the border of age that should get supposedly get a booster. Born in 1970. Would it be safe to get one now, just in case, even if I probably was just young enough to get them that year?

All the info I've read says that somehow everyone 1970 and later is fully vaccinated.. but I don't remember. What if I just missed getting the full round as a child?

Right... hey Americans, are vaccines free?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

No...and our recently anointed head of the CDC, RFK, has already reduced and restricted who is advised to receive even the flu and COVID annuals.

From the Public Health Agency website: "Each province and territory decides which vaccines it will provide free of charge to the public."

So it depends ¯\(ツ)

antivaxxers exist outside the usa, sometimes they reproduce, causing their children to suffer for something they didn't get to choose themselves
