While most Canadians are celebrating after their second COVID-19 vaccine doses, many expatriate Canadians living and working overseas are opting for third and fourth jabs. But that means having a vaccine approved by Health Canada — and the list is limited to Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca-Oxford, COVISHIELD, or Johnson & Johnson's one-dose vaccine. 'It's probably ok'Several Canadian vaccine experts agreed taking extra vaccine doses probably is "fine" — but with caveats. The latest census taken in 2009 shows 2.8 million Candians live and work outside of Canada and many — if not most — do not have access to COVID-19 vaccines approved by Health Canada. Too slowCanada's government has been shipping out vaccines to its embassies around the world where Health Canada approved vaccines aren't available, which helps diplomats and other staff avoid this dilemma.
