Advisory committee recommends COVID-19 vaccine boosters for long-term care residents

Kelly Cutrara talks to Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research about COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for residents of long-term care homes.

"Some recent studies based in Ontario and Canada have been showing that older people, particularly those living in long-term care settings tend to see a waned immunity much more than, say, the staff members caring for them," says Dr. Sinha.
