Why Is the Canadian Advisory Committee on Immunization Still Recommending Covid Shots?

More than six years after the declaration of the Covid Pandemic, new mid-2026 federal guidance released with little public attention continues to support additional Covid-19 shot doses for some Canadians despite declining uptake and growing calls for independent review.

According to a post by Children’s Health Defense Canada, despite growing public concern and ongoing debate surrounding vaccine safety, Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) continues to recommend Covid-19 vaccination for several groups. These include older adults, residents of long-term care homes and individuals who are moderately to severely immunocompromised. The committee also continues to recommend that some high-risk individuals receive two COVID-19 vaccine doses per year.

The guidance raises questions about why Canadian health authorities continue to recommend ongoing COVID-19 vaccination programs while other countries are reassessing aspects of their pandemic-era policies and recommendations.

Meanwhile, the Allison Inquiry is collecting testimony from Canadians who report serious adverse events, injuries and deaths associated with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Canada Health Alliance is very supportive of the Allison Inquiry and we will be talking about this in upcoming editions of this newsletter.

The real question is what should we as Canadians do about the Canada National Advisory Committee on Immunization’s decision to keep forcing Covid shot onto the most vulnerable?

Children’s Health Defense has launched its “Stop the COVID Shots” campaign, calling for Covid-19 vaccines to be removed from the market. They are also urging Americans to contact elected officials to pressurize them to reconsider and question these policies and decisions, and ask why they are still necessary, and what the real risk / benefit ratio is for the public.

Canadians who are concerned about vaccine safety, transparency and regulatory oversight are encouraged to contact their elected representatives AND Canada’s Minister of Health, Marjorie Michel, and request:

• An independent review of Canada’s Covid-19 vaccination program
• Greater transparency regarding vaccine safety data and adverse event reporting
• A public reassessment of ongoing Covid-19 vaccine recommendations
• Open scientific debate regarding the risks and benefits of continued Covid-19 vaccination
• An immediate review of policies recommending additional Covid-19 vaccine doses, especially in light of both the findings of the National Citizen’s Inquiry and the upcoming Allison Inquiry.

Canadians should also ask why Covid-19 vaccines continue to be recommended for certain populations in 2026 despite declining uptake, increasing safety concerns and growing calls for proper and public independent review.

According to a statement by Children’s Health Defense Canada, “As federal health officials continue to promote additional Covid-19 vaccine doses, Canadians deserve transparency, accountability and access to all available evidence so they can make fully informed decisions about their health and the health of their families.”
