Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has joined the ranks of Canadians rolling up their sleeves for COVID-19 booster shots.
Trudeau received his third shot at an Ottawa pharmacy on Tuesday morning.
The prime minister arrived around 8 a.m. and could be seen chatting with the pharmacist while preparing the injection.
The prime minister subsequently gave a thumbs up to the cameras and urged Canadians to get vaccinated.
The provinces have been rushing to administer booster injections as the COVID-19 case count and hospitalizations continue to rise to new heights.
Many have also chosen to delay the start of face-to-face schooling in the new year in an effort to limit the spread of the highly communicable Omicron variant.
