As more Canadians are getting vaccinated, Dr. Theresa Tam shared the importance of getting a second COVID-19 vaccine dose.
The top doctor said in a tweet that first doses provide "priming immunity" that gives us good protection against COVID-19 while reducing our chances of becoming severely ill.
A 2nd dose of #COVID19Vaccine is important! A 1st dose provides priming immunity, providing most of us with good protection & reducing likelihood of severe illness; a 2nd dose boosts our immune systems to build strong, longer lasting immunity.— Dr. Theresa Tam (@Dr. Theresa Tam) 1623009613
Meanwhile, a second dose "boosts our immune systems to build strong, longer lasting immunity," she wrote.
Vaccination data from the Canadian government was updated on June 4. At that time, 56.78% of Canada's population had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
Meanwhile, only 5.71% of the population was fully vaccinated.
