Hello Mrs., Do you know at what age and in what year you received the vaccine? How many doses did you receive? Are you a health care worker?

Hello,
According to my health record, I received a dose in 2004, when I was 4 years old. It seems to be the only one, but maybe I received another one that is not identified... I work in elementary schools.

Do you think I should receive another dose? Should I make sure that I have not received a second dose at the CLSC? Does this change anything? Thank you

Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification!
According to the Quebec immunization protocol, only 1 dose is required if you were born before April 1st 2009. There is no indication to receive another dose.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
