Third shot approved for travel

The Quebec government says fully vaccinated residents who have received the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine can receive a third dose of an mRNA vaccine before travelling. Public health officials are offering the extra shot because some countries don’t recognize the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine made at the Serum Institute of India. But officials warned it’s up to the recipient to seek advice and weigh the risks before getting a another dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines.
