A reporter who asked him why the province has allowed for a “personal decision” instead of recommending the second booster shot for everyone.  Moore replied “We are doing a risk-based approach. There’s always a risk to having any therapeutic versus a benefit,” healthy adults do not necessarily need a second booster shot for COVID-19, as the risk of hospitalization is “very, very low.”  “You want to make sure there’s a very strong benefit versus the risk. If you’re an 18-year-old healthy individual, the risk of getting hospitalized, if you have no underlying medical illness, is very very low” said Moore.

“We know there is a risk, a very small risk, 1 in 5,000 that may get myocarditis, for example, and you’d have to have that discussion on the risk-benefit of complications from the vaccine versus the benefit of decreased hospitalization for a young healthy person.”
