PEI's top doctor has announced expanded recommendations for booster COVID-19 vaccine doses.

Dr. Heather Morrison says adults 18 years and older, health care workers, Indigenous peoples and residents of long-term care and community care facilities are among those who should get a booster.

Morrison says the mandate also includes moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals and adults who received two doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

She reported one new case of COVID-19 Friday, bringing the number of active cases to 19.
