The official guidance from Canada’s national immunization advisory committee remains that “all individuals should continue to practice recommended public health measures” — distancing, masking and isolation and quarantine if exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID — regardless of vaccination.
Canada’s top public health leaders have warned that vaccines are “no silver bullet,” and that striving to have the “fewest interactions” with the fewest people at the greatest distance should be the rule while vaccine programs expand.
According to Canada’s independent expert advisory panel on immunization, there isn’t sufficient evidence yet to determine how long immunity from the vaccines lasts — how durable that protection is over time — and whether the vaccines protect people not just from getting infected, but getting infected and spreading the virus to other people, even if they have no symptoms themselves.
